ruby on rails - "New" render redirects to unexpected URL -

ruby on rails - "New" render redirects to unexpected URL -

my app has page allowing users send me email through form (without address beingness published). it's associated email controller , #new action, rerouted '/contact'.

the weird thing, if email doesn't send off reason (the user left field blank or failed math captcha set in), when controller renders "new" again, url becomes '/emails'. can't figure 1 out @ all. relevant code:

#emails_controller.rb require 'math_captcha' class emailscontroller < applicationcontroller def new @captcha = mathcaptcha.new @email = email.new end def create @captcha = mathcaptcha.decrypt(params[:captcha_secret]) @email = email.new(params[:email]) unless @captcha.correct?(params[:captcha]) || params[:captcha] == "21261" flash.now[:error] = "please create sure answered math question correctly." render :new else if @email.save contact.contact_message(@email).deliver flash[:success] = "your email has sent! i'll seek shortly." redirect_to root_path else flash.now[:error] = "please right highlighted errors , seek again." render :new end end end end

and:

#routes.rb resources :users, :posts, :sessions, :emails #... match '/contact', to: 'emails#new', as: 'contact'

the same problem there before added "as contact" in effort prepare it. ideas?

edit -- per garbage collection's request (sorry delay; haven't been near computer bit), here's dev log navigating /contact , submitting unsuccessful email effort (which refreshes , changes url /emails):

it's expected show '/emails' in address bar since post'ed url. if want show '/contact', should set route post like:

get '/contact', to: 'emails#new' post '/contact', to: 'emails#create'

maybe there's another, more concise way it, should work.
