Non standard rails routes in used in helper

Question

In my routes.rb there is

resources :clients_assessments do
  member do
    get :medical_edit
    get :mental_health_edit
    get :personal_edit
  end
  collection do
  end
end

Which gives routes

         medical_edit_clients_assessment GET    /clients_assessments/:id/medical_edit(.:format)       {:action=>"medical_edit", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
   mental_health_edit_clients_assessment GET    /clients_assessments/:id/mental_health_edit(.:format) {:action=>"mental_health_edit", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
        personal_edit_clients_assessment GET    /clients_assessments/:id/personal_edit(.:format)      {:action=>"personal_edit", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                     clients_assessments GET    /clients_assessments(.:format)                        {:action=>"index", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                                         POST   /clients_assessments(.:format)                        {:action=>"create", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                  new_clients_assessment GET    /clients_assessments/new(.:format)                    {:action=>"new", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                 edit_clients_assessment GET    /clients_assessments/:id/edit(.:format)               {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                      clients_assessment GET    /clients_assessments/:id(.:format)                    {:action=>"show", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                                         PUT    /clients_assessments/:id(.:format)                    {:action=>"update", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}
                                         DELETE /clients_assessments/:id(.:format)                    {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}

When I try to use them in a helper file like

route = medical_edit_clients_assessment_path(id)

An error message is generated

No route matches {:action=>"medical_edit", :controller=>"clients_assessments"}

I have to change it to

route = "/clients_assessment/#{able_id}/medical_edit"

to get around the error message. What is funny though that a route like

route = (able_id.nil? ? new_client_path : edit_client_path(able_id))

works just fine.

I know someone one will ask for it so here is the entire routes.rb and the result of the rake routes

This might happened because id is nil

This code suddenly started working, it probably was some bad data. – Russ Petersen Jul 13 '12 at 22:55
