Rails - Feb 2007 - How do I use a RESTful helper with path_prefix?

Once upon a time I had this in my routes.rb:

  map.client_home '':client/'', :controller =>
''orders'', :action =>
''new''

All orders must be scoped within a client name, so this worked quite
well.  I used a before_filter to scoop up the @client object by doing
a find_by_name.

Then I decided to expose the OrderController as a fully restful
controller:

  map.client_home '':client/'', :controller =>
''orders'', :action =>
''index''
  map.resources :orders

but I still needed orders to be prefixed with the /:client in the url;
so this matched everything up:

  map.client_home '':client/'', :controller =>
''orders'', :action =>
''index''
  map.resources :orders, :path_prefix => '':client/''

and in fact it works when I test through a browser, but not in my test
code:

  def test_client_orders
    get orders_url(:client => ''myclient'')
    assert_response :success
  end

results in this:

NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.rewrite

`method_missing''
    ./test/functional/orders_controller_test.rb:45:in
`test_client_orders''


I''ve tried every permutation of the orders_url syntax I can think of.

How can I generate a url for a RESTful path when there''s a variable in
the path_prefix?


Thanks!
Jeff
