Rails Controller Inheritance Routing Error

Question

I am trying to define a namespace as admin and my routes file is the following;

namespace :admin do
  root 'base#index'
  resources :boats
 end

So I have admin folder, and inside I have base_controller.rb ;

class Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController
  before_action :logged_in_user, :auth_admin

  def index

  end

end

and I created cars_controller.rb inherited from BaseController;

class Admin::CarsController < BaseController

        def index
            @cars = Car.all
        end

    end 

So, like this I get error from the console;

ActionController::RoutingError (uninitialized constant BaseController):
  app/controllers/admin/cars_controller.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'

If I change instead of BaseController to ApplicationController, it works without a problem. Bur I could not figured it out why it gives such error.

Answer 1

ActionController::RoutingError (uninitialized constant BaseController):

Your BaseController is inherited from Admin , so you need to write Admin::BaseController instead of BaseController

class Admin::CarsController < Admin::BaseController
