Hello list,

I'm a fairly nooby Rails developer of very little brain, and this error has
had me confused for the last several hours.

It's a very simple (unfinished) Rails app.  It has a model called Tasks.  It
has a very basic routes.rb

  resources :tasks
  root :to => 'tasks#index'

A vanilla controller (create action not properly defined yet because that
would have been next on the list when I ran into this problem)

class TasksController < ApplicationController

  def index
    @tasks = Tasks.all
  end

  def new
    @task = Tasks.new
  end

  def create
  end

end

And a view for the /tasks/new action

<h1>Create new task</h1>
<%= form_for @task do |form| %>
    <%= lots of form. blah blah here... %>
<% end %>

And when the view is rendered I get the following error:

undefined method `tasks_index_path' for
#<#<Class:0x000000020c04e8>:0x000000020b74d8>

Extracted source (around line *#2*):

1: <h1>Create new task</h1>
2: <%= form_for @task do |form| %>

And here are the top few lines of the stack trace:

actionpack (3.0.0)
lib/action_dispatch/routing/polymorphic_routes.rb:114:in
`polymorphic_url'
actionpack (3.0.0)
lib/action_dispatch/routing/polymorphic_routes.rb:120:in

actionpack (3.0.0) lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb:307:in `form_for'

`_app_views_tasks_new_html_erb__194514136627382544_17145340__4434388515179536201'

I don't really understand where "tasks_index_path" came from or why form_for
has bombed out so spectacularly, especially given how simple the code is
right now.  Can anyone point me at what I might be doing wrong?

Oh yes, it's rails 3.0.0 on ruby 1.9.2 running on Ubuntu 10.04.

Thanks,

Mark
