figured it out: the solution here is to - remove the isolate_namespace from the engine: this allows access to the routes/route-helpers of the hosting app. - do not namespace the controller(app/my_controller instead of app/my_plugin/my_controller) you are calling the layout from: otherwise, this namespace gets prefixed
