REST routes :has_many , new style

Hi --

I am trying to write a nested route 'new style'

map.resources :franchises, :has_many => :documents

in place of the :

map.resources :franchises do |franchises|    franchises.resources :documents, :name_prefix => "franchise_" end

but get an error : no route found to match "/franchises/1/documents" with {:method=>:get}

running rake routes, cannot see it... what could be the problem with my Rail install ?

Are you running edge Rails? If not, :has_many won't work.

I've put your map.resources line in my routes.rb, and I get this in the console:

r = ActionController::Routing::Routes

=> # lots of output...

r.recognize_path("/franchises/1/documents", :method => :get)

=> {:controller=>"documents", :action=>"index", :franchise_id=>"1"}

This is on revision 7340 (a fairly recent edge Rails).

David, I am trying to figure out if this is the intended behaviour   map.resources :users,                         :has_many => [:groups]

  map.resources :groups, :collection => {:joined => :get, :created => :get}

in console I type

r = ActionController::Routing::Routes r.recognize_path("/groups/created", :method => :get)

=> {:controller=>"groups", :action=>"created"}

r.recognize_path("/users/diego/groups/created", :method => :get)

=> {:controller=>"groups", :user_id=>"diego", :action=>"show", :id=>"created"}

the collections routes for groups are not carried over into the nested version inside of user. Furthermore there is no syntax like has_many => [:posts => {:collections => {:joined => :get} } ] in place.

I am guessing that my only options is to repeat any :new, :member or :collections specific routes.

Am I guessing right?
