I'm new with RoR so this is a newbie question:
if I have a controller users_controller.rb and I add a method foo, shouldn't it create this route?
http://www.localhost:3000/users/foo
because when I did that, I got this error:
Couldn't find User with id=foo
I of course added a view foo.html.erb
EDIT:
I added to routes.rb this code but I get the same error:
resources :users do
get "signup"
end

Rails routing is a two-way piece of machinery – rather as if you could turn trees into paper, and then turn paper back into trees. Specifically, it both connects incoming HTTP requests to the code in your application's controllers, and helps you generate URLs without having to hard-code them as strings.
Decoding the http request TIP: If you ever want to list all the routes of your application you can use rails routes on your terminal and if you want to list routes of a specific resource, you can use rails routes | grep hotel . This will list all the routes of Hotel.
For most applications, you will begin by defining routes in your routes/web.php file. The routes defined in routes/web.php may be accessed by entering the defined route's URL in your browser.
This doesn't work automatically in rails 3. You'll need to add
resource :users do
get "foo"
end
to your routes.rb
You'll definitely want to have a look at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html, it explains routing pretty well.
