Action Could Not Be Found for Controller

Question

Getting my way through a Ruby on Rails tutorial; I know this is very simple, but I'm stumped, as I'm very new to the framework here.

After generating a controller and mapping it appropriate in the .config log, and defining an action in my controller- I'm still receiving the same 'action error' within localhost:3000.

Here is what I am getting:

'Unknown Action'

'The action 'new' could not be found for PostsController'

Controller:

class PostsController < ApplicationController
end

def new
end

Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

Answer 1

The controller class is closed before the new action is defined. Move the end in the second line behind your new action.

Answer 2

Sweet lord I ended up here because my controller method was private (aka was listed below the private declaration in the controller).
