I've been converting a big chunk of my next Catalyst application to
Reaction, and have run into an issue with :Chained that seems strange
to me, after working with it for a while I've managed to turn it into
a tiny little example, hopefully small enough that someone can spot
what I'm doing wrong...
I've got a basic catalyst application right from the helper
(catalyst.pl Test), and the only thing I modified is the root
controller:
package Test::Controller::Root;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'Catalyst::Controller';
__PACKAGE__->config->{namespace} = '';
sub base : Chained('/') PathPart('') CaptureArgs(0) {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
push( @{ $c->stash->{ 'path' } }, 'base' );
}
sub index : Chained('base') PathPart('') Args(0) {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
push( @{ $c->stash->{ 'path' } }, 'index' );
}
sub foo : Chained('base') PathPart('foo') Args(0) {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
push( @{ $c->stash->{ 'path' } }, 'foo' );
}
sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
$c->response->body( join( ' / ', @{ $c->stash->{ 'path' } } ) );
}
1;
When Catalyst starts up, it shows me these chained actions:
[debug] Loaded Chained actions:
.-------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------.
| Path Spec |
Private |
+-------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------+
| /foo | /base
(0) |
| | => /
foo |
| | /base
(0) |
| | => /
index |
'-------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------'
Which is as it should be, calls to http://myapp/ should go through "/
base(0) => /index" and calls to http://myapp/foo should go through "/
base(0) => /foo".
When I load up /foo in a browser, I get the expected response:
[info] *** Request 2 (0.333/s) [17853] [Sat Feb 10 08:23:51 2007] ***
[debug] "GET" request for "foo" from "127.0.0.1"
[debug] Path is "/foo"
[info] Request took 0.007484s (133.618/s)
.----------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------.
| Action |
Time |
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------+
| /base |
0.000052s |
| /foo |
0.000031s |
| /end |
0.000173s |
'----------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------'
And the output in the browser is "base / foo", just like I wanted.
However, when I hit the index, it skips right over the base action:
[info] *** Request 3 (0.375/s) [17853] [Sat Feb 10 08:23:53 2007] ***
[debug] "GET" request for "/" from "127.0.0.1"
[info] Request took 0.005970s (167.504/s)
.----------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------.
| Action |
Time |
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------+
| /index |
0.000033s |
| /end |
0.000152s |
'----------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------'
And the output to the browser is just "index".
