rails render an action with nested route -

i have nested resource so:

resources :contacts   resource :leads end 

when render edit view, url looks so:

http://localhost:3000/contacts/1/leads/1 

when submit form , goes leads controller update action:

  def update     if @lead.update_attributes(lead_params)       redirect_to contact_lead_path(@lead.contact, @lead)     else       render :edit     end   end 

when else triggered, renders page so:

http://localhost:3000/leads/1 

when should be:

http://localhost:3000/contacts/1/leads/1/edit 

why doesn't "render :edit" account full nested url? how can resolve this?

look @ way form set in view. should following. leadscontroller#edit method need load both @contact , @lead.

<%= form_for [@contact, @lead] |f| %>     ... <% end %> 

the fact you're getting non-nested-resource url form suggests you're not using pattern, , should.

also, assume typo, in question, you're declaring nested route as

resource :leads 

instead of

resources :leads 

the singular resource valid, means different you're intending here, i.e., each contact has 1 associated lead.
