Hello all,
I have an app mounted under /test via lighttpd fastcgi as indicated on
[1]. Here I use R(Foo, bar) in views to link to controller foo, this correctly
creates a /test/foo/bar link. However, when I use R() in some controller,
for example:
headers[''Refresh''] = "60; url=#{R(Foo, bar)}"
The generated link is /foo/bar, which obviously links to something
non-existant. Can somebody affirm that R() in controllers do not
work correctly?
Regards,
Paul

In short, R() only prepends the app root (i.e. ''/test'') to the generated URL when called from within a View -- not Controllers. This can be worked around by using the "slash method"[1]: self / R(Foo, Bar) #=> ''/test/foo/bar'' See the Camping docs for the R() helper method[2], and the "Using R in the View" section in particular, for a fuller explanation. -- Adam [1] http://camping.rubyforge.org/classes/Camping/Helpers.html#M000016 [2] http://camping.rubyforge.org/classes/Camping/Helpers.html#M000014

Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed, you assume it is going to behave the same.
