I have no idea what this the internal working of rails is as this error seem to be some problem coming from 'mapping.rb'.

The following it my routes.rb

TestApp::Application.routes.draw do

root 'dunbs' => 'dunbs#index'

end

Answer 1

Your syntax for defining a root route is incorrect, it should be either root to: 'dunbs#index' or root 'dunbs#index' .

See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#using-root for more details.
