No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"} Error - ruby-on-rails

I have the following going on:
rspec test in users_controller_spec:
it "should redirect to the user show page" do
post :create, :user => #attr
response.should redirect_to(user_path(assigns(:user)))
end
In my users_controller I have the following:
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#title = #user.name
end
def create
#title = "Sign up"
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save
redirect_to #user, :notice => "Signed Up!"
else
#title = "Sign up"
render "new"
end
end
In my routes.rb I have the following:
Psra::Application.routes.draw do
resources :users
resources :sessions
# Root Route
root :to => 'pages#home'
# Pages Routes
match '/contact', :to => 'pages#contact'
match '/about', :to => 'pages#about'
match '/help', :to => 'pages#help'
match '/signup', :to => 'users#new'
# Users Route
match '/signup', :to => 'users#new'
#Sessions Routes
get "logout" => "sessions#destroy", :as => "logout"
get "login" => "sessions#new", :as => "login"
end
And Here is my rake routes
users GET /users(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"users"}
POST /users(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"users"}
new_user GET /users/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"users"}
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"users"}
user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"}
PUT /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"users"}
DELETE /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"users"}
sessions GET /sessions(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"sessions"}

new_session GET /sessions/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"sessions"}
edit_session GET /sessions/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"sessions"}
session GET /sessions/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"sessions"}
PUT /sessions/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"sessions"}
DELETE /sessions/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"sessions"}
root / {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"home"}
contact /contact(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"contact"}
about /about(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"about"}
help /help(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"help"}

/signup(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"new"}
logout GET /logout(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"sessions"}
login GET /login(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"sessions"}
This all results in the following error:
1) UsersController POST 'create' success should redirect to the user show page
Failure/Error: response.should redirect_to(user_path(assigns(:user)))
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"}
# ./spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb:95:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

It looks like to me that the show action isn't getting the user information it needs to get the correct page. The assigns method is just creating an instance variable. The user_path call will need a User mock or object to make the call work correctly.

Ruby on Rails Tutorial - Routing error on '/sessions'

I am doing Michael Hartls Ruby on Rails Tutorial and I am getting a routing error when I try to browse to localhost:3000/sessions
Routing Error
No route matches "/sessions"
From the tutorial, I was under the impression that rails will infer the route to "sessions" and I would not need to add a specification route to routes.rb.
If I run rake routes I get the following
users GET /users(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"users"}
POST /users(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"users"}
new_user GET /users/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"users"}
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"users"}
user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"}
PUT /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"users"}
DELETE /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"users"}
sessions POST /sessions(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"sessions"}
new_session GET /sessions/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"sessions"}
session DELETE /sessions/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"sessions"}
root /(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"home"}
signup /signup(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"new"}
signin /signin(.:format) {:controller=>"sessions", :action=>"new"}
signout /signout(.:format) {:controller=>"sessions", :action=>"destroy"}
about /about(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"about"}
contact /contact(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"contact"}
help /help(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"help"}
My routes.rb contains
SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
resources :users
resources :sessions, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy]
root :to => 'pages#home'
match '/signup', :to => 'users#new'
match '/signin', :to => 'sessions#new'
match '/signout', :to => 'sessions#destroy'
match '/about', :to => 'pages#about'
match '/contact', :to => 'pages#contact'
match '/help', :to => 'pages#help'
I can get it to work if I add the following line to routes.rb, but I didn't think I needed to do this explicitly
match '/sessions',:to => 'sessions#create'
Am I missing something or misunderstanding something?
I am running Rails 3.0.11 and Ruby 1.9.2p290
In rails a GET verb request to /sessions routes to the index action.
You either need to browse to /sessions/new, or add the additional match like you've done in the last part of your question.
These are the default routes for a resource: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#crud-verbs-and-actions

Custom Registrations Controller for Devise not Overriding Create Action

I have been fighting with this for days now. I have created my own Registrations Controller to allow for an amdin to create and delete users. I have left the :registerable module in my devise configuration, as I also want to users to be able to edit their profiles. I have tried taking that module out just to see if it would solve my issue. The problem that I have, is that when I create a new user as an admin, it still signs that user in, despite having my own create action. I have tried everything that I can think of to get beyond this and I am stuck.
My Registrations Controller:
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
load_and_authorize_resource
def new
super
end
def create
resource.build
if resource.save
redirect_to users_path
else
clean_up_passwords(resource)
render_with_scope :new
end
end
end
Application Controller: => note, after_sign_up_path_for was overriden here as a test to see if that would work
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery
rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception|
flash[:error] = exception.message
redirect_to projects_url
end
protected
def stored_location_for(resource)
nil
end
def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
projects_url
end
def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
users_path
end
end
Routes File:
DeviseTest::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users, :controller => { :registrations => "registrations"}
devise_scope :user do
get '/login' => 'devise/sessions#new'
get '/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy'
end
resources :users, :controller => "users"
resources :projects
root :to => 'home#index'
end
And my Users Controller for admin view
class UsersController < ApplicationController
load_and_authorize_resource
# GET /users
# GET /users.xml
def index
#users = User.excludes( :id => current_user.id )
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #users }
end
end
# DELETE /users/1
# DELETE /users/1.xml
def destroy
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#user.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to(users_url) }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
end

root /(.:format) {:controller=>"home", :action=>"index"}
Everything else works as expected, I just cannot get the created user to not be signed in. It's not a huge issue for creating one user, but if I need to create 3 or 4, it's a huge p.i.t.a to have to signout, signin, every single time.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
On the third line of your routes.rb file, I think you mean :controllers => …, not :controller => …. You're missing an 's'.

I'm gettgin No route matches {:action=>"new", :controller=>"posts"} even though it's not in my routes.rb file. HELP?

OK so this is my first question posted to stackoverflow. I'm pretty new to coding, been learning Ruby on Rails for the past 3 months. There could be a few things wrong with my code but here it goes.
Basically I'm trying to get a User to Post. I'm using Devise for registration, and all of that works. But when I create a link to "Create Post" in my Header View, it tells me I don't have a route matching => even though I think it exists. I'm missing something small I believe but in all the debugging I've done to try and get it right, I think I might have messed something else up along the way. Below is attached my code for the routes.rb, my post_controller file, and my layout view file. Sorry about all the rambling, I couldn't be very concise. Does anyone see anything wrong? Let me know if you need to see other code
_header.html.erb
<% if user_signed_in? %>
Signed in as <%= current_user.username %>. Not you?
<%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete, %>

Try typing rake routes in the console and check if the route you are looking for exists. Note that the order also matters.
It should have been
<%= link_to "Create Post", new_user_post_path(current_user) %>
I think its because of the argument !
In your routes file it seems you are passing :user_id also.
In your link try passing that id.
Hope it helps...
<%= link_to "create Post", new_user_post_path(current_user.id) %>
Also I would suggest try renaming the path and use it.
I know its not proper way but still.
I had faced a similar problem and solved by doing this !!;)
Hope it helps !

How-to: Devise after_sign_up_redirect?

I tried to follow the instructions here (GitHub Devise Wiki) but it's not working for me.
I'm trying to get Devise to redirect to /welcome after user signs up. I created a Registrations controller but it's never going into the view. What am I doing wrong here?
Ruby 1.9.2
Rails 3.1.0.rc4
Devise 1.4.2
Thank you
UPDATE:
For some reason after_sign_up_path_for is not triggered but after_sign_in_path_for is triggered. I would still like to get after_sign_up_path_for to work though
_app/controllers/registrations_controller.rb_
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
protected
def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
welcome_path
end
end
Here's my config/routs.rb
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
root :to => 'pages#home'
match "/users", :to => "users#all"
match "/users/:id", :to => "users#show", :as => :user
match "/welcome", :to => "users#welcome", :as => :user
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" } do

You have devise_for :users twice in your routes.rb. Change the routes.rb as follows:
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" } do
get "/login", :to => "devise/sessions#new"
get "/register", :to => "devise/registrations#new"
get "/logout", :to => "devise/sessions#destroy"
get '/account' => 'devise/registrations#edit'
end
root :to => 'pages#home'
match "/users", :to => "users#all"
match "/users/:id", :to => "users#show", :as => :user
match "/welcome", :to => "users#welcome", :as => :user
end
If you have activation/deactivation logic, you have to override after_inactive_sign_up_path_for too as mentioned in the devise wiki. Can you tell where it is getting redirected to after sign up?
The reason why after_sign_in_path_for is working may be that you have the same sessions_controller and different registrations_controller, so sign-in works as you expected and the registrations route is getting blocked because you have defined it twice, so all the registration requests and actions are executed in the devise/registrations rather than your custom registrations controller.
So remove that, change the routes.rb as mentioned above, and see what happens.
Your devise_for looks kind of odd. The after_sign_up_path_for should go fine as a public method in your application_controller.rb
Change your routes file to just be devise_for :users, as well as placing after_sign_up_path_for in your application_controller.rb
You have duplicate devise_for listings in your routes.rb file. Try removing the first one, the simple devise_for :users, and leaving only the second one.
In my application I have the after_sign_in_path_for method in my application_controller.rb file. Try putting it in there, restarting your server and see if that makes any difference. Also, I don't have my method listed under protected but rather private.
If you want to redirect users to a welcome page after signup, it sounds like you just want to redirect them after a successful user create. So your users_controller would look something like this:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save
flash[:notice] = "Registration successful."
redirect_to welcome_path
else
render :action => 'new'
end
end
def show
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def edit
#user = User.find(params[:id])
end
def update
#user = User.find(params[:id])
if #user.update_attributes(params[:user])
flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated user."
redirect_to #user
else
render :action => 'edit'
end
end
end
The instructions worked fine for me (new Registrations controller, modify routes.rb and copy the registrations views to app/view/registrations) but I needed to change my routes.rb slightly so that registrations controllers was picked up. Order is important as the first matching route is going to be used - and you want that to be the new registration route.
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }
devise_for :users
(make sure devise_for :users comes after the new route for registrations)

'No route matches' Error on Delete of Micropost in Chapter 11 of Hartl's ruby-on-rails tutorial - completely stumped

I am trying to track down a particularly elusive bug in working through Michael Hartl's ROR Tutorial.
When clicking on 'Delete' for a micropost (from the home page or the user/show page) the url is http://localhost:3000/microposts/303, but the result is "Routing Error - No route matches"/microposts/303".
I have gone through each page of my code that is involved and replaced them with code from Hartl's gitHub project site. https://github.com/railstutorial/sample_app. For example, for the microposts_controller, I copied the code from the gitHub depot and replaced my code with the copied code. I then restarted the server. Same result. I then reverted back to my code to test the next page.
The pages I swapped the code with are
CONTROLLERS
microposts_controller
users_controller (show method)
MODEL
micropost.rb (model)
VIEWS
microposts/_micropost.haml
shared/_micropost_form.html.haml
shared/_feed.haml
shared/_feed_item.haml
and the Routes file.
I am at a loss for other things to check. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

But, as I said, even replacing my routes file with the one on gitHub did not resolve the issue.
The link to delete is
= link_to "delete", micropost, :method => :delete,
:confirm => "You sure?",
:title => micropost.content
link_to :method => :delete uses unobtrusive javascript to create the DELETE request. My guess is that you either don't have the necessary javascript files in your project (prototype.js/jquery.js and rails.js) or you are not including them in your layout.
