This is the first part i did rails generate controller AccountActivations \ edit --no-test-framework

Then routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do

  get 'account_activations/ edit'

  get 'account_activation/ edit'

  get 'sessions/new'

  root                 'static_pages#home'
  get 'help'        => 'static_pages#help'
  get 'about'       => 'static_pages#about'
  get 'contact'     => 'static_pages#contact'
  get 'signup'      => 'users#new'
  get 'login'       => 'sessions#new'
  post 'login'      => 'sessions#create'
  delete 'logout'   => 'sessions#destroy'
  resources :users
  resources :account_activations, only: [:edit] 
end

then i run this code :

$ rails generate migration add_activation_to_users \
> activation_digest:string activated:boolean activated_at:datetime

i modify this new file

class AddActivationToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :users, :activation_digest, :string
    add_column :users, :activated, :boolean, default: false
    add_column :users, :activated_at, :datetime
end end

and finally bundle exec rake db:migrate Then i get the error message, does anyone see any problem? thanks in advance! By the way this is chapter 10 ruby on rails tutorial.

Answer 1

the help and about route missing it's controller (optionally action) parameter.

Also the root route is missing it's options.
