Am I configuring the default route correctly? Currently my route is set to:
root :to => 'proto#index'
When I do I am receiving the following error:
AbstractController::ActionNotFound (The action 'index' could not be found for ProtoController):
What file do I need to change?
You are looking for app/controllers/proto_controller.rb
It should contain something like the following
class ProtoController < ApplicationController
def index
end
end
Then you want to make a file at app/views/proto/index.html.erb that contains the html for the page.
There are several things you should check.
Do you have a controller called "proto"?
If so, do you have index action in your proto controller?
Ideally, your proto controller should be something like ..
class ProtoController < ApplicationController
def index
@protos = Proto.all
end
end
I think it is app/controllers/proto_controller.rb
And rails convention is to pluralize model name in controllers.
root :to => 'proto#index' should go in config/routes.rb
ProtoController should be defined in app/controllers/proto_controller.rb
class ProtoController < ApplicationController
def index
# ...
respond_to do |format|
format.html
end
end
end
This action will look for the template defined by app/views/proto/index.html.erb and render it out.
