So there are 2 possibilities:

  • in your routes.rb file, you have mistyped the route. The routes should look like:

     resources :todo_lists do
  resources :todo_items
 end
    • Check your todo_items_conroller and make sure the file name is plural (items) and inside the file, it says (notice it's plural here too):
    class TodoItemsController < ApplicationController
