Rails - Aug 2007 - Problem converting application to use REST, people_path method not found

Hi All,

I am converting a "traditional" rails application to use RESTful
routes
and controllers. Everything is going fine so far, except for the 
following problem.

I have the active record class Person. When I want to build RESTful 
URL''s using the helper *_path methods the person_path(:id) calls work 
fine, but when I use people_path method ruby raises an exception that no 
method exists. I assume these methods are created dynamically, why would 
the method for creating "show"URL''s get created, but not the
method for
the "index" URL?

example code:
# This works fine. The call to person_path(@person) generates the 
correct URL
# this is uses for updating an existing person.
 <% form_for(:person, :url => person_path(@person), :html => { :method 
=> :put }) do |form| %>
    <p><label for="employee_first_name">First
Name</label> <%=
form.text_field :first_name  %></p>
    <p><label for="employee_last_name">Last
Name</label> <%=
form.text_field :last_name  %></p>
<% end %>

# The following call to people_path fails with a the eror
#  |undefined local variable or method `people_path'' for 
#<#<Class:0xb7065ca4>:0xb7065c7c>
# this is used when creating new users.
|<% form_for(:person, :url => people_path, :html => { :method =>
:put })
do |form| %>
    <p><label for="employee_first_name">First
Name</label> <%=
form.text_field :first_name  %></p>
    <p><label for="employee_last_name">Last
Name</label> <%=
form.text_field :last_name  %></p>
<% end %>

I have tried variants like persons_path with no success. People is the 
correct pluralization used by rails.

Cheers,

Anthony Richardson

Hi.
Have you tried that:

map.resources :people
