This is really weird. I am getting a routing error on a link_to that exists on every page

This is my route 

resources :users do
    member do
      get :creations_tab, :path => '/creations'
    end

which translates to

creations_tab_user_path  GET     /users/:id/creations(.:format)  users#creations_tab

this is where the error happens

 <li><%= link_to content_tag(:i," ", :class=>"icon-bullhorn")+ " " +"Creations", creations_tab_user_path %></li>

The weird part is this link_to is a link in a navbar that exists on everypage.. some pages it works some don't...

this is the error

Since your route is a member route, it will expect to be provided with a user id. So it wouldn't make sense to call the helper with no arguments, as you're doing.

I suspect that somekind of RoR-magic is providing the helper with an argument in some cases - but in reality it shouldn't work.

So give that helper a user or a user id.
