Discourse forum : /404 not found for an existing route

Question

Suppose we create a new controller with an action to perform an operation and rendering a view.We add a route via plugin file and I checked the route found via rake routes as

register_vip_section GET /register/vip_section(.:format) vip_section#index

The controller looks like:

class VipSectionController < ApplicationController

def index ... end

end

but when I tries to make a get call to the same as:

http://localhost:3000/register/vip_section

It doesn't work.It is raising :

 Started GET "/404-body?_=1489209463400" for 127.0.0.1 at 2017-03-11 10:47:46 +0530

The formatting of your route from rake routes suggests that it will look for a RegisterController with a vip_section action when you make the call: http://localhost:3000/register/vip_section

-- or --

For the controller you have described you would need a routes similar to this in your routes:

resources :register do
  get 'vip_section', on: :collection
end

EDIT: As I previously said, for the path you mention your controller should be called RegisterController and have an action called vip_section as follows

class RegisterController < ApplicationController

  def vip_section
  end
end

In this route path: http://localhost:3000/register/vip_section the first part of the path is for the controller and the second section of the path is for the action method

EDIT2: I see you have added the vip_section#index to the path you mentioned. It is convention to name controllers as a plural. Please try naming your controller VipSectionsController
