For me, that routing behavior is causing problems. Here's why: if I add a route such as: get "static_pages/dog" ...and then enter the url http://localhost:3000/static_pages/dog in my browser, rails complains that there's no action called dog in the StaticPagesController: === Unknown action The action 'dog' could not be found for StaticPagesController === Then if I add the dog action to the controller, then create a view, everything works fine and dandy. But if I then delete the dog action, and then use the same url, http://localhost:3000/static_pages/dog, in my browser, this time I get a different result--instead of getting an error the view displays. For me, that inconsistent behavior is not right, and it should not be that way. So I want to know whether there were reasons for the rails team to institute that inconsistent behavior, or whether it is a bug. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
