Unclear route error thrown when an invalid object is passed to a "_path" method
Reported by Hiram Nascimento | December 26th, 2010 @ 04:54 PM
Assuming that we have the following resources at config/routes.rb:
... resources :users do
reousrces :posts end
...
So, somewhere in a view, I would use the link_to method:
link_to 'Go!', user_posts_path(@anything)
Assuming that the @anything is invalid, Rails throws a very unclear error about the route:
"ActionController::RoutingError in Welcome#index"
In my opinion, it should first throw an error saying that the passed parameter is not valid, because the route exists, but only the parameter is invalid.
I can provide further details for you to reproduce this scenario.

What do you mean by invalid? Do you mean that it's an instance of User but @user.valid? is false? Can you please post a backtrace, thanks.
