[Rails-core] Re: bug in routes ???

[Greg Hauptmann]

Hi,

I tried passing a controller string of "/contacts" instead of "contacts" and this does work (thanks) however I don't quite understand the logic around this relative path behaviour in routes.rb.

* If the controller itself is contacts_controller.rb and it is in the root (i.e. not a subdirectory) why would one be required to specify "/"

* Conversely what is gained by allowing specification of a relative controller, or more to the point, if one is specified as was the case here what is the logic behind allowing a URL to be greated by routes.rb that does not match a route?   Shouldn't the URL producing mechanism in routes.rb be matching the input parameters against available routes, such invalid URLs are not produced (i.e .  one that doesn't match a route)?


====================================
irb(#<#<Class:0x3775b58>:0x3775b28>):021:0* url_for :controller => "/contacts "
=> "/en/contacts"

irb(#<#<Class:0x3775b58>:0x3775b28>):022:0> url_for :controller => "contacts "
=> "/en/active_rbac/contacts"

irb(#<#<Class:0x3775b58>:0x3775b28>):023:0> params
=> {"action"=>"login", "controller"=>"active_rbac/login", "locale"=>"en"}

irb(#<#<Class:0x3775b58>:0x3775b28>):024:0> url_for
=> "/en/active_rbac/login/login"

====================================

Tks
