Ruby on Rails link_to undefined method

Question

I'm following the Twitter for Zombies tutorial and i'm having trouble getting the link_to method to work.

In my Tweet controller I have:

@tweet = tweet.find(params['id']);

In my view i've tried the following:

<%= link_to @tweet.zombie.name, @tweet.zombie %>
<%= link_to @tweet.zombie.name, zombie_path(@tweet.zombie) %>

But I keep getting the error:

undefined method `zombie_path' for #<#<Class:0xab1fd00>:0xa1d5d80>

Any ideas whats up with this? Thanks.

Does it say for which line it's erroring out on? Is it for the first or second link_to? — MrDanA

I only have one link_to call. It's showing an error on that line. — jim

Oh I see. Sorry I skimmed over the part you saying you've tried the following. I thought you meant you currently had that in there. — MrDanA

Do you have the line like this?
