  1. POWhy is this basic Rails 3 route not working?

    copied!<p>I've just upgraded to Rails 3, and decided to take it for a whirl with a dummy/sandbox app. The strange thing is I can't seem to get <em>any</em> routes to work!</p> <p>Here's my problem:</p> <pre><code>[cobychapple@shiva:Dev]$rails new TestApp create create README create Rakefile ... [cobychapple@shiva:Dev]$cd TestApp/ [cobychapple@shiva:TestApp]$rails g scaffold widget name:text invoke active_record create db/migrate/20101020115518_create_widgets.rb create app/models/widget.rb ...

I've googled a whole bunch and there seems to be a few people with routing issues in rails 3, but none of them are as apparently basic as what I'm getting. I'm sure I've just missed something small along the way but I can't for the life of me figure it out! Any suggestions?</p> <p>My routes.rb file is only what that scaffold generates + documentation comments:</p> <pre><code>TestApp::Application.routes.draw do resources :widgets # The priority is based upon order of creation: # skip the rest of the comments... end </code></pre>
