A reference to a controller is also a constant. Everything which starts with an uppercase letter is in fact a constant.
Hm. Could you give me a backtrace? It seems like it's ActiveSupport's const_missing or something like that. You don't really need to read/understand all those comments in the patch. It's all related to the fact that Tilt defines the template as a method under the Tilt::CompileSite (which is included in each request in Camping) so when you call #render it actually calls a method called #_tilt_ajdbakjasjdbakjsbdk in the background. Calling a method is way faster than instance_eval, so this gives a significant speed improvement. The problem by defining the method under Tilt::CompileSite is that constant lookup is now relative to Tilt::CompileSite instead of your request. This is what the patch fixes. // Magnus Holm On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 22:53, David Susco <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Magnus, > > I gave that a shot but I'm still getting an argument error: > > Anonymous modules have no name to be referenced by > > I'm trying to wrap my mind around what this patch is doing, but I > don't see the connection between constants and a reference to a > controller. > > Dave > > On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 3:29 PM, Magnus Holm <[email protected]> wrote: >> This is a well-known bug in Tilt: >> http://groups.google.com/group/tiltrb/browse_thread/thread/19fef5370c4d417f >> >> The thread includes a quite simple patch for 1.8, and a larger, very >> hackish patch for 1.8+1.9. >> >> >> // Magnus Holm >> >> >> >> On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 21:05, David Susco <[email protected]> wrote: >>> When using Tilt for views I need to completely specify the controller >>> within the template file. >>> >>> For example, in a Markaby view I can do this: >>> >>> URL(LogIn) >>> >>> But in a template file I have to do this: >>> >>> URL(MyApp::Controllers::LogIn) >>> >>> Is there anyway around this? >>> >>> -- >>> Dave >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Camping-list mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list >>> >> _______________________________________________ >> Camping-list mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list >> > > > > -- > Dave > _______________________________________________ > Camping-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list > _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list
