undefined method `products_index_path' about nifty-generators HOT 8 CLOSED

Your problem is with the command you used at the scaffold generation. You have to remove the "s" at the end of ProductS

  rails g nifty:scaffold Product title:string description:text specification:text images:text

Remember you'll generate the model names in singular and scaffold uses the model name :-)

Hope this helps,

That's more a routes problem than something related with the generators. Run rake routes in your comand line to get all your routes. If you do map.resources :products you should get the new_product_path and the products_path.

As nhocki mentioned, does adding map.resources :products to your config/routes.rb file work for you? the scaffold generator should have done this automatically.

Did you ever get this issue resolved? If so I will close this ticket.

Yeah, I realized I should have used products_path, not products_index_path.

I met exactly the same issue under current version (nifty-generators 0.4.6, rails 3.0.6) which I have put resources :products in my config/routes.rb file.
I had generated several times and the results were all the same errors, any help would be welcome.

Here's my generate script:
rails g nifty:scaffold Products title:string description:text specification:text images:text

Update:
After digging form_for helper documents, I found that to add something to the first line of _form.html.erb will fix the error, which the solution is not obvious for newbies.
Original code: (Line 1 of _form.html.erb)
<%= form_for @products do |f| %>
Change to:
<%= form_for @products, :url => products_path(@products) do |f| %>

@nhocki Indeed the singular name solved the issue ;) I think to pick a countable word is very important, since "news" won't work as well!

from nifty-generators.

@marcofang if you need "news" you can set that as an uncountable object in you config/initializers/inflections.rb file.

 ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
     inflect.uncountable %w( fish sheep news )
 end

Hope that helps :-)
