Ruby on Rails add nested controller/resource

Question

I have an application that I want to have a route that is /admin/active_vulnerabilities but when I generate the controller as rails generate controller ActiveVulnerabilities and put the following in my routes.rb

namespace :admin do
    resources :users
    resources :active_vulnerabilities

    # Admin root
    root to: 'application#index'
  end

But I get the error uninitialized constant Admin::ActiveVulnerabilitiesController so I changed my controller to class Admin::ActiveVulnerabilitiesController < ApplicationController

I then get the error Unable to autoload constant ActiveVulnerabilitiesController, expected /home/luke/projects/vuln_frontend/app/controllers/active_vulnerabilities_controller.rb to define it but the file mentioned is my controller named exactly as that.

Your controller should be put in app/controllers/admin/ because the namespace. Otherwise, you can forget this directory and the namespace and use just scope

scope :admin do
  resources :active_vulnerabilities
end

class ActiveVulnerabilitiesController < ApplicationController

I moved the controller to app/controllers/admin/ and edited the routes file to show

namespace :admin do     resources :users     resources :activevulnerabilities     # Admin root     root to: 'application#index'   end

but I still get the same issue
