In the new router, "can't use member outside resources scope"

Reported by Lasse Bunk | February 13th, 2010 @ 07:46 PM

In Rails 2.3.5 it was possible to have a member on a RESTful resource.

When trying this in Rails 3.0.0.beta:

resources :users do

resource :open_id do
  member do
    get :remove
  end
end

end

It fails with:

ArgumentError: can't use member outside resources scope

The same occurs when using collection inside resource.

Is this on purpose, and if so, is there another solution?

Why do you want to add a member to a single resource? Members expect that you want to reference of a resource by ID.

You can create extra routes for a resource like this:
```
resource :open_id do
  get :remove
end
```

Sorry – my bad. I'll be using get :remove instead. Thanks. Out of curiosity, could you tell me what would've been right one to use instead of using a member on Rails < 3.0.0?

Another thing is that get :remove on a singular resource (resource :open_id) doesn't create the remove_open_id_path route helper that is created when using
```
member do
  get :remove
end
```
on plural resources (resources :open_id). Is that a bug? I can create the helper by specifying :as => :open_id (why does it have to be :open_id?)

- Assigned user set to “josh”

Right, you just need
```
resource :open_id do
  get :remove
end
```
Think of the inside of "resource" (singular) as already scoped with member.

Ok – I get that... nicely done :)
The fact that it doesn't create a remove_open_id helper – is that a bug?

Sounds like it. Could you post a failing test.
