:only and :except not working for map.resources

Hi guys. I'm trying to get rid of some non-existing routes. My UserSessionsController has three methods: new, create, and destroy. However, in routes.rb , I'm generating the 7 RESTful routes:   map.resource :user_session

So, I thought that this would generate routes for the 3 actions that do exist:   map.resource :user_session, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy]

However, after adding that, ``rake routes'' still spits out the other 4 routes:   http://rafb.net/p/kRS3DD41.html

Any idea what's going on here? Thanks, Nick

Nick,

The :except and :only routing options are only available on Edge Rails (Rails 2.2.1 or Rails 2.2 RC2) at this time. Make sure you are running the correct version.

Cheers

Thanks Robert. I had no idea that was the case. I figured that the docs at api.rubyonrails.org were applicable to the current stable version, rather than Edge. -Nick

Ack, my bad. The :except and :only options aren't listed on api.rubyonrails.org yet. I found them in the "Rails Routing From The Inside Out" Rails Guide:   http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing_outside_in.html
