uninitialized constant UserFriendshipsController

Hi Everyone,

I am working on adding social features to treebook. I am on the "Creating the Friendship Form" video, about 3/4 the way through. We just added:

<%= link_to "Add Friend", new_user_friendship_path(friend_id: @user), class: 'btn' %>

to show.html.erb.

In the browser, when I click that new link, I do not get the expected page. I get a Routing error:

uninitialized constant UserFriendshipsController

I have deduced from the error that the bug is most likely in the "config/routes.rb or "user_friendship_controller.rb, but I can't seem to find it.

Please help

Hey Tim Smith does your user_friendship_controller.rb have an "s" in it? If not, that may be the issue and Rails is looking for a pluralized version of it. The solution in that case would be to rename it to user_friendship*s*_controller.rb and change the class name to UserFriendshipsController in the file itself.
