Rails - Nov 2004 - Is #link_to broken?

Hi

I setup a simple rails app (following along with the demo)
and was trying to setup a link with #link_to. However,
if I tried to do 

  link_to "Edit", :action => "edit", :id => post.id

for example, the URL was coming out

  /myapp/1

instead of

  /myapp/edit/1

I thought it was me at first then I started over and just
did the scaffolding code. All the links were missing the action
path in their URL.

For example, I had the following

  /myapp/1   # for Show
  /myapp/1   # for edit
  /myapp     # for add new


The versions I am running are:

 % gem list

 *** LOCAL GEMS ***

 actionmailer (0.3.0)
 Service layer for easy email delivery and testing.

 actionpack (0.9.0, 0.8.5, 0.8.0)

 activerecord (1.0.0, 0.9.5, 0.9.4)

 rails (0.8.0, 0.7.0, 0.6.5)

 rake (0.4.9, 0.4.8, 0.4.4)
 Ruby based make-like utility.

 sources (0.0.1)

 remote gem installation

Can someone help with this?

Thanks

I noticed this too the other day.

I experienced similar behavior, and I believe that it was caused when
the controller part of the link did not have a trailing slash (e.g.,
myapp/controller instead of myapp/controller/). The links I was
creating were then exactly like you describe. Adding the trailing
slash fixed it for me.

Ugh, I see the problem. Is this going to be fixed. I don''t think
I can expect my users to always remember the slash.

Try this Apache mod_rewrite rule to slashify your URLs:
   RewriteRule ^/myapp/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /myapp/$1/ [R]

The behavior should be fixed, but maintaining your URL convention is 
worthwhile regardless.
