Rails - Aug 2009 - Error when output has a period (".") in the name

Hi all,

Hopefully this is easy for you guys. I''m trying to output a list of
usernames and everything has been working well. However, when I added a
user with a period in their username it generates this error. If I
rename the user to "Tom_Dixon" it works fine, but
"Tom.Dixon" fails.

Any clue how to get this to work?


Error:

user_url failed to generate from {:controller=>"users",
:action=>"show",
:id=>#<User id: 96, username: "Tom.Dixon" ...


The code is your standard rails link_to:

<td><%#= link_to h(user.username), user_path(user) %></td>
<td><%#= link_to ''Edit'', edit_user_path(user)
%></td>
<td><%#= link_to ''Remove'', user, :confirm =>
''Are you sure?'', :method =>
:delete %></td>



Any help is appreciated!

-Tony

Why are you calling user_path(user) instead of just the id?
