I've been working through the tutorial for the past few days, and finally hit a snag in chapter 7.

It is in this step where the line in routes.rb:

get "users/new"

is replaced with

resource :users

After I do this, I get a routing error when visiting

http://localhost:3000/users/1 - No route matches [GET] "/users/1"

instead of the other "Unknown Action" error shown here.

Per the instructions, my routes.db file looks like this:

SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
  resource :users
  root "static_pages#home"
  match '/signup',  to: 'users#new',            via: 'get'
  match '/help',    to: 'static_pages#help',    via: 'get'
  match '/about',   to: 'static_pages#about',   via: 'get'
  match '/contact', to: 'static_pages#contact', via: 'get'
end

Output from 'rake routes' shows:

    Prefix Verb   URI Pattern           Controller#Action
     users POST   /users(.:format)      users#create
 new_users GET    /users/new(.:format)  users#new
edit_users GET    /users/edit(.:format) users#edit
           GET    /users(.:format)      users#show
           PATCH  /users(.:format)      users#update
           PUT    /users(.:format)      users#update
           DELETE /users(.:format)      users#destroy
      root GET    /                     static_pages#home
    signup GET    /signup(.:format)     users#new
      help GET    /help(.:format)       static_pages#help
     about GET    /about(.:format)      static_pages#about
   contact GET    /contact(.:format)    static_pages#contact

Does anyone have any insight to get past this? Many thanks.
