hmmmmm, Where oh, where did the url_for method go? I have a Sweeper that uses url_for to generate new page caches whenever the model changes (kind of active caching). In this case I am using a custom method rather than Caching.cache_page, since I want the page to cache all the time (ignoring the normal caching rules). The sweeper is being woken up just fine, but there is some strange behaviour happening with the url_for method... class PublishSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper observe Computer, Node, Program def after_save(record) puts self.inspect case record when Node write_cache(:controller=>"xml_server", :action=>"node", :id=>record.id) when Program write_cache(:controller=>"xml_server", :action=>"program", :id=>record.id) end end end ... private def write_cache(path) url_for(path) end end In the first case (Node) url_for is available and returns what is expected. However, in the second case (Program) url_for is nil (it''s not being called at all). The sweeper call backs are being initiated from the different actions in the same controller, and apart from saving different model types there''s no other differences. Is there any obvious reason that the method would disappear like this?? I''m stumped, any ideas on what to look at (or better still a solution) would be appreciated! thanks, Dan By the way the "puts self.inspect" in after_save shows the folling: when it *is not* working: #<PublishSweeper:0x377c13c> when it *is* working: #<PublishSweeper:0x373ca8c @controller=#<ProgramsController:0x373a070..... Something fishy seems to be going on with the sweepers access to ActionController... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
