I am creating a a site in RoR and and I have built the user signup and login forms. Everything works great. The thing is, I went to create another object called games, which functions almost identically to users, but when I try to interact with it I get an error. I built the forms almost exactly the same and the routing I congruent.
Here is my user new.html.erb:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<% provide(:title, 'Sign up') %>
<h1 class="heading1" >Sign up</h1>
<br>
<div>
<%= form_for(@user, :html => { :class => 'form' }) do |f| %>
<%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<br>
<%= f.label :email %>
<%= f.text_field :email %>
<br>
<%= f.label :username %>
<%= f.text_field :username %>
<br>
<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
<br>
<%= f.label :password_confirmation, "Confirmation" %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
<br>
<br>
<%= f.submit "Create my account", class: "submit" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and my users controller new and create methods:
def create
@user = User.new(user_params)
if @user.save
sign_in @user
redirect_to @user
else
render 'new'
end
end
def new
@user =User.new
end
private
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :username, :password,
:password_confirmation)
end
end
and my game new.html.erb:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 class="heading1" >Create Game</h1>
<br>
<div>
<%= form_for(@game, :html => { :class => 'form' }) do |i| %>
<%= i.label :title %>
<%= i.text_field :title %>
<br>
<br>
<%= i.submit "Create Game", class: "submit" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
and my game controller:
def create
@game = Game.new(game_params)
if @game.save
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'create'
end
end
def new
@game = Game.new
end
private
def game_params
params.require(:game).permit(:title)
end
end
and my routing file:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :sessions, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
resources :users
match '/new_game', to: 'games#new', via: 'get'
match '/signup', to: 'users#new', via: 'get'
match '/signin', to: 'sessions#new', via: 'get'
match '/signout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: 'delete'
# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
# See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes".
# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
root 'home#home'
# Example of regular route:
# get 'products/:id' => 'catalog#view'
# Example of named route that can be invoked with purchase_url(id: product.id)
# get 'products/:id/purchase' => 'catalog#purchase', as: :purchase
# Example resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically):
# resources :products
# Example resource route with options:
# resources :products do
# member do
# get 'short'
# post 'toggle'
# end
#
# collection do
# get 'sold'
# end
# end
# Example resource route with sub-resources:
# resources :products do
# resources :comments, :sales
# resource :seller
# end
# Example resource route with more complex sub-resources:
# resources :products do
# resources :comments
# resources :sales do
# get 'recent', on: :collection
# end
# end
# Example resource route with concerns:
# concern :toggleable do
# post 'toggle'
# end
# resources :posts, concerns: :toggleable
# resources :photos, concerns: :toggleable
# Example resource route within a namespace:
# namespace :admin do
# # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController
# # (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
# resources :products
# end
end
The rails server error page reads:

I really appreciate all and any help. if there is any more information I can provide please say so.
Thank you
You will find that when you do bundle exec rake routes in your console, you have not actually created named routes for your games paths.
If you're using match and you want to name a route (so you have something like games_path available), you'd have to do this:
match `/games`, as: 'games', to: 'games#index', via: :get
A much easier way is to use resources for most of your routes, and just go with the default RESTFUL paths:
resources :games
# Now you have access to '/games/new', '/games/:id',
# '/games', etc, as well as names such as `games_path`.
# Check `bundle exec rake routes` for all of them.
