ruby on rails - No route matches missing required keys: [:id] -

i'm new rails, , editing code written else, may need more in-depth response average person...

i'm running error when run rake: no route matches {:controller=>"users", :action=>"show", :id=>nil, :format=>nil} missing required keys: [:id]

the line appears causing problem this:

<%= link_to("my account", user_path(current_user)) %>

the link works correctly on localhost, failing test @ line "render :template":

it "renders new initiative form"   assign(:initiative, initiative.new(location: location.new,rewards:     [factorygirl.create(:reward)]))   render :template => "initiatives/new.html.erb" (...etc.) 

not sure else helpful include here, userscontroller is:

class userscontroller < applicationcontroller   def show      @user = user.find(params[:id])   end end 

and results rake routes:

you should use devise login helper login before render template. https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/how-to:-test-with-capybara
