152 CHAPTER 7 Basic access control
At the moment, admin_root_path doesn’t exist. To define it, open config/routes.rb
and change the namespace definition from this
namespace :admin do
resources :users
end
to this:
namespace :admin do
root :to => "base#index"
resources :users
end
When you rerun the feature, it fails because you don’t have an index action for the
Admin::BaseController controller:
When I follow "Admin"
The action 'index' could not be found for Admin::BaseController
Let’s add that now.
7.5.2 The index action
Open app/controllers/admin/base_controller.rb, and add the index action so the class
definition looks like the following listing.
class Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authorize_admin!
def index
end
end
Listing 7.20 app/controllers/admin/base_controller.rb
You define the action here to show users that this controller has an index action. The
next step is to create the view for the index action by creating a new file at app/views/
admin/base/index.html.erb and filling it with the following content:
Welcome to Ticketee's Admin Lounge. Please enjoy your stay.
You needn’t wrap the link in an admins_only here because you’re inside a page that’s
visible only to admins. When you run the feature, you don’t get a message saying The
action 'index' could not be found even though you should. Instead, you get this:
When I follow "New User"
no link with title, id or text 'New User' found
