I think this may be either a bug or something I don't

about specifying chained actions.
Suppose I have a controller which has a defined default action
(such as created by catalyst.pl by default, i.e.
sub default :Path {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
$c->response->body( 'Page not found' );
$c->response->status(404);
}
To that I add a root action, the start of the chain, like so:
sub index :Chained('/') PathPart('') :Args(0) {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
# Hello World
$c->response->body( $c->welcome_message );
}
Now, whenever I request '/' from that script, default action
triggers, and the index action doesn't.
If I comment out the default action, the index DOES get called.
Is this a bug? If not, what do I have to change to have
both index
and default in my root controller?
Hi Matija,
If you change the default attributes to "Private" it will do
what you expect. I think this may be a bug, though (thought
this was fixed, but I may be remembering wrong).
Ah, not quite. Setting private on "default" does cause index to be
called when fetching "/", but now
default doesn't get called for unknown paths.
The index action should match "/" (though, in this
circumstance you aren't really chaining to anything, so it
would make more sense to use sub index : Path, which would do
what you expect)
To demonstrate the bug, I tried to make a minimal script that
still showed it. The original script, the one which led me to
discover this bug, was considerably bigger, and did indeed need /
as part of the chain. But there's no point in posting the whole,
multi-controller beast if I can demonstrate the bug with the most
basic, two subroutine controller.
I think the problem is that you have it defined as Chained. Is that
what you want? I think you just want
index : Path Args(0) { ... }
With the default marked private, it doesn't get called whether index is
chained or not, so that doesn't help.
And yes, as I said above, this was just a minimal test case to
demonstrate the bug. The original script is bigger, and I think I have
stuff chaining off index there.
