Rails 4 Error: NoMethodError / undefined method

Question

Hey there,
I am fairly new to Rails and I've managed to create a Favorite controller for my Items(Tools) and Users, which works totally fine.
Now I am trying to do the same just in that user module. So users are able to favorite other users.

I played around, and came up with this:

I am getting this error in the browser when accessing /users/index view:

NoMethodError in Users#index
undefined method `favorite_user_path' for #<#<Class:0x8ca77b8>:0x8ca50b8>

Here is my code:

app/models/favorite_user.rb

class FavoriteUser < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :c_user_id
    belongs_to :user_id
end

app/models/user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:

  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable

  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
       :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable


  has_many :tools

  # Favorite tools of user
  has_many :favorite_tools # just the 'relationships'
  has_many :favorites, through: :favorite_tools, source: :tool # the actual tools the user favorites

  # Favorite users of user
  has_many :favorite_users # just the 'relationships'
  has_many :userfavorites, through: :favorite_users, source: :user # the actual users the user favorites
  has_many :userfavorited_by, through: :favourite_users, source: :user # the actual users favoriting a user



  mount_uploader :avatar_filename, AvatarUploader

end

app/controllers/users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController
    before_action :find_user, only: [:show, :favorite]

    # Add and remove favorite recipes
    # for current_user
    def userfavorite
      type = params[:type]
      if type == "favorite"
        current_user.userfavorites << @user

      elsif type == "unfavorite"
        current_user.userfavorites.delete(@user)

      else
        # Type missing, nothing happens
        redirect_to :back, notice: 'Nothing happened.'
      end
    end

    def index
        @users = User.all
    end

    def show
        @tools = Tool.where(user_id: @user).order("created_at DESC")
        @tool = Tool.find(1)
    end

    private

    def find_user
        @user = User.find(params[:id])
    end
end

app/views/users/index.html.haml

- @users.each do |user|
    = image_tag gravatar_for user if user.use_gravatar == true
    = image_tag user.avatar_filename.url if user.use_gravatar == false
    %h2= link_to user.username, user
    %p= link_to "Favorite", favorite_user_path(user, type: "favorite"), method: :get
    %p= link_to "Unfavorite", favorite_user_path(user, type: "unfavorite"), method: :get

app/config/routes.rb

resources :users, only: [:index, :show, :userfavorite] do 
    get :userfavorite, on: :member
end

I hope the provided data is enough, if not please tell me. I'm grateful for all Your replies.

You haven't declared any such path in the routes file. As per your routes file you can use named path like

userfavorite_user_path(user_id)
