Rails core - Jul 2006 - Named Routes

(Appologies if this turns out to be a double post -- from what I''ve
seen my first post seems to have gotten lost in the moderator''s bin)

Hi,

I''m using Rails 1.1.4, so I appologize if edge has new routing code
and does not exhibit the behavior I describe here (in fact, could
someone confirm if it does?)

There seems to be a problem with named routes, one I think was not
intentional.  To the point, the generated name_url() code generates a
URL to the highest-priority named route with the same combination of
symbol keys in its path declaration.  An example:

map.first_route "first_route/:controller/:action/:id"
map.second_route "second_route/:controller/:action/:id"

Both first_route_url() and second_route_url() with
:controller/:action/:id passed-in, generate
"http://.../first_route/:controller/:action/:id".

Routing authors, was this intentional or a side-effect of implementation?

This is a little known behavior of named routes that we didn''t
particularly like, but aceepted.

The rewritten routes that are in trunk resolve this.
