[Rails] route error with controllers in a module, should just work
This is ALL I have added to my routes.rb
map.connect ''admin'', :controller =>
''/admin/welcome''
I have found plenty of examples saying this is correct if you have a
WelcomeController in the Admin module, which I do :)
But now webrick won''t even start ??? Look at those 4 colons ::::, what
is that about ?
help !
=> Booting WEBrick...

So instead, I''ll just give you the quick version and solution. map.connect ''anchors'' the class name generated from the :controller => ''/admin/welcome'' to the toplevel namespace by (apparently) *always* putting ''::'' in front of the generated class name. Unfortunately, you''re also trying to anchor the class name to the toplevel namespace by putting in that leading slash ''/'' character. Which is *always* converted to ''::''. Do this: map.connect ''admin'', :controller => ''admin/welcome'' HTH Trevor -- Trevor Squires http://somethinglearned.com> help ! > > > > > => Booting WEBrick... > generated/routing/recognition.rb:38:in `write_recognition'': compile > error (SyntaxError) > generated/routing/recognition.rb:35: parse error, unexpected tCOLON3, > expecting tCONSTANT > return {"controller" => ::::Admin::WelcomeController, > "action" => > "index"} > ^ > generated/routing/recognition.rb:35: dynamic constant assignment > return {"controller" => ::::Admin::WelcomeController, > "action" => > "index"} > ^ > generated/routing/recognition.rb:35: parse error, unexpected tASSOC, > expecting tCOLON2 or ''['' or ''.'' > return {"controller" => ::::Admin::WelcomeController, > "action" => > "index"} > > ^ > generated/routing/recognition.rb:35: parse error, unexpected ''}'', > expecting kEND from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12 > .3/lib/action_controller/routing.rb:630:in `eval'' > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.3/lib/ > action_controller/routing.rb:535:in > `write_recognition'' > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.3/lib/ > action_controller/routing.rb:630:in > `draw'' > from ./script/../config/../config/routes.rb:1 > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/ > lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:140:in > `load'' > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.3/lib/ > action_controller/routing.rb:607:in > `reload'' > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.4/lib/ > initializer.rb:239:in > `initialize_routing'' > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.4/lib/ > initializer.rb:105:in > `process'' > ... 7 levels... > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.4/lib/ > commands/server.rb:30 > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ > custom_require.rb:21:in > `require'' > from > c:/_/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/ > lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:147:in > `require'' > from script/server:3 > /c/_/workspace/puffin_server/puffin > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
