Add a route that sends all GET requests for the /pets/new path to the PetsController's new action method.

I am not able to find an answer for this problem. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm not really sure what you're asking but for the challenge you need two routes one for '/pets/:id' and another for '/pets/new'. The '/pets/new' route has to appear first, otherwise Rails will think that 'new' is an id.

Here is my solution

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  get '/pets/new', to: 'pets#new'
  get '/pets/:id', to: 'pets#show'
end
