 I think you use the URL the wrong way and until version 1.83.2 the
 helper worked wrongly. In your case it worked but it has been
 corrected and it doesn t work anymore.

 Try something like URL(c='account', f='log_in')

  Hi

  I have a problem since version 1.83.2. It gives me this error:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
     File D:\web2py\gluon\restricted.py, line 186, in restricted
       exec ccode in environment
     File D:/web2py/applications/init/controllers/default.py, line 91,

     File D:\web2py\gluon\html.py, line 186, in URL
       raise SyntaxError, 'not enough information to build the url'
  SyntaxError: not enough information to build the url

  My codes worked up to version 1.82.1.

  I am using my own authorization/login codes which is in controllers/
  account.py. The offending code (check_login function) is as follows:

  def check_login(session=session):
       if session.login_time == None:
           session.login_time = 0
       if session.username == None or \
           session.login_time + login_expiry * 3600  int(time.time()):
           redirect(URL(r=request, f='../account/log_in'))
       else:
           return session.username

  In version 1.82.1, check_login (called byhttp://localhost:8000/init)
  redirects tohttp://localhost:8000/init/account/login. But from
  version 1.83.2, it seems to redirect 
  tohttp://localhost:8000/init/default/init/account/login
  which is non-existent.

  Any ideas what might be happening?

  Thanks

It doesn't break backwards compatibility, because it *should not* work
the way it did.

@massimo: I think a SyntaxError should not be used for a case like
this. See that the syntax is correct and the passed values not, a
ValueError or the like shall be used.

 So I guess it depends on how you look at it. Did it break backwards
 compatibility.

 If your are using a bug and somebody repairs that bug your application
 stops working.

  Hm. Isn't that technically a case of breaking backwards compatibility?

I agree.

Btw, in case you're new to these things, the main point of URL helpers
(called URL generators in some frameworks) is to generate the URL
based on the information about the internal structure of the
application. This is done to avoid hard-coding the paths. If you
merely use the URL helper function to pass a full relative path, it
sort of beats the purpose (that's what others meant by 'not supposed
to work that way').

It also takes into account URL rewriting.
