Rails 3: I want to list all paths defined in my rails application

Question

I want to list all defined helper path functions (that are created from routes) in my rails 3 application, if that is possible.

Thanks,

Solution 1

rake routes

or

bundle exec rake routes

Solution 2

Update

I later found that, there is an official way to see all the routes, by going to http://localhost:3000/rails/info/routes. Official docs: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#listing-existing-routes

---

Though, it may be late, But I love the error page which displays all the routes. I usually try to go at /routes (or some bogus) path directly from the browser. Rails server automatically gives me a routing error page as well as all the routes and paths defined. That was very helpful :)

So, Just go to http://localhost:3000/routes

Solution 3

One more solution is

Rails.application.routes.routes

http://hackingoff.com/blog/generate-rails-sitemap-from-routes/

Solution 4

rails routes | grep <specific resource name>

displays resource specific routes, if it is a pretty long list of routes.

Solution 5

Trying http://0.0.0.0:3000/routes on a Rails 5 API app (i.e.: JSON-only oriented) will (as of Rails beta 3) return

{"status":404,"error":"Not Found","exception":"#> 
<ActionController::RoutingError:...

However, http://0.0.0.0:3000/rails/info/routes will render a nice, simple HTML page with routes.

open your console and type rake routes

Furthermore, if you want to check whether a given path is recognized by your app's router, see this.

To state the obvious, this only works in development environment.

This is bundled into Rails 4, but the question asks about Rails 3. You'll need to install the Sextant gem to use this in 3.

In a specific context, I had to use RAILS_ENV=dev /opt/rbenv/shims/bundle rake routes to make this work.

[konyak]

Rails.application.routes.routes.map { |r| {alias: r.name, path: r.path.spec.to_s, controller: r.defaults[:controller], action: r.defaults[:action]}}

rake routes is deprecated; use rails routes instead: github.com/rails/rails/pull/33660

[smilingfrog]

Rails.application.routes.routes.map(&:name).compact for just the named routes
