Namespace routing error

rubyonrails-core
1

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or there is a problem with namespaces and routes in 3.0.0.beta version. After creating new application I've generated new controller with

script/rails generate controller Admin::Dashboard show

and added:

namespace :admin do   resource :dashboard end

to routes.rb, but http://localhost:3000/admin/dashboard resulted in routing error: No route matches "/admin/dashboard". Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like problem is in mapper.rb line 391:

def controller   options[:controller] || plural end

where pluralized version of controller is returned so even:

rake routes

returns correct list of routes (in singular form) final target has pluralized version (admin/dashboards) and routing error occurs. Now I'm wondering whether I've wrongly defined route or controller method should be:

def controller   options[:controller] || singular end

resource :session do     get :jumpin, :as => 'session'     post :forgot_password, :as => 'session'   end

I think I have seen this issue. In my code I have had to use the :as option to get the generated helper methods to work. Without the :as option I can still hit the actions, but it is just the _url|path helpers that are not working. I'm swamped and have not made a ticket yet.

Rails expects the controller name to be pluralized even when using singular resources. The rails3 beta is wrongly reporting Routing Errors when anything goes wrong with the controller. See #3862 cryptic "Routing Error" when ApplicationController has a bug - Ruby on Rails - rails.

If you are right that Rails expect the controller name to be pluralized then 'rake routes' give wrong result. Because with route:

namespace :admin do   resource :dashboard end

routes are:

                    GET /admin/dashboard(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"show"}                      POST /admin/dashboard(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"create"}                      PUT /admin/dashboard(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"update"}      admin_dashboard DELETE /admin/dashboard(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"destroy"} new_admin_dashboard GET /admin/dashboard/new(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"new"} edit_admin_dashboard GET /admin/dashboard/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"edit"}

so path is in singular form and controller is expected to be in plural. On the other hand with:

namespace :admin do   resources :dashboard end

both paths and controller are in plural:

                     GET /admin/dashboards(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"index"}     admin_dashboards POST /admin/dashboards(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"create"} new_admin_dashboard GET /admin/dashboards/new(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"new"}                      GET /admin/dashboards/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"show"}                      PUT /admin/dashboards/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"update"}      admin_dashboard DELETE /admin/dashboards/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"destroy"} edit_admin_dashboard GET /admin/dashboards/:id/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"admin/dashboards", :action=>"edit"}

I guess I'm missing something but I still cannot figure out what :frowning:
