Resource Path Broken

[kvnlnt]

I ran a scaffold with the name "Drive". All was well but I noticed the generated paths were "drife"...as in "new_drife_path" with an "F"!!!! I searched and replaced all instances of "drife" with "drive" and double checked my resources mapping, it's set to:

resources :drives

Even though I've changed any occurance of "drife" in my code and confirmed it's resource is correctly name a "rake routes" command still says "new_drife_path":

drive_index GET /drives(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"drives"}
POST /drives(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"drives"}
new_drife GET /drives/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"drives"}
edit_drife GET /drives/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"drives"}
drive GET /drives/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"drives"}
PUT /drives/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"drives"}
DELETE /drives/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"drives"}

Where in the heck are these paths being stored? I tried clearing every piece of cache i could think of...I even regenerated the controller...to no avail.

I created a scaffold using the stable version and everything looks fine. Which rails version are you using?

@fxn it's a inflector issue:

Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.1)
>> 'drives'.singularize
=> "drife"

@kvnlnt you can fix it in config/initializers/inflections.rb

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.irregular 'drive', 'drives'
end

Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.1)
>> 'drives'.singularize
=> "drive"

@fxn I think this may be one instance where the rule on inflection updates might be relaxed - I can't imagine anyone is relying on the drive -> drife mapping and it's a common word.

[kvnlnt]

ahhhhhhh! Inflectors. Thanks pixeltrix. I'm obviously still learning Rails concepts. I really appreciate your help.

But how did you get a scaffold with those routes? I am still curious about that.

[pixeltrix]

I can reproduce like this:

$ rails new testapp
$ cd testapp
$ rails g scaffold Drive
$ rake routes
    drives GET    /drives(.:format)          drives#index
           POST   /drives(.:format)          drives#create
 new_drife GET    /drives/new(.:format)      drives#new
edit_drife GET    /drives/:id/edit(.:format) drives#edit
     drife GET    /drives/:id(.:format)      drives#show
           PUT    /drives/:id(.:format)      drives#update
           DELETE /drives/:id(.:format)      drives#destroy

This is with Rails 3.2.1 on Ruby 1.9.3.

yep...exactly what I encountered.. I ran a scaffold..got those routes, thought I messed something up and therefore tried again...and same result. Was all mystery until I discovered these "inflectors". Which pixeltrix confirmed (thanks again). You tricky rails, you tricky.

Was bitten by this today, I still don't understand how this makes sense:

1] pry(main)> 'drives'.singularize
=> "drife"

Why not drive? - what is the logic behind this?
