Configurable routes

[ingo...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I need to create a route the pattern of which needs to be configurable. The documentation for the :loaded event states that "This can be used as a hook point for handlers to define routes that depend on user configuration not known until runtime", so I tried the following:

on(:loaded) do
MyHandler.route config.my_pattern, :my_method, ...
end

However, it this appears to cause the route to be created multiple times (in my specs, I can see that using robot.handlers.first.routes). Is this not the way to do this? If not, what is?

Thanks for any hint!

Hi Ingo,

I've done this in a few of my handlers. You're on the right track. I did it by having a method call that defines all the routes instead of having them inline in the class body, so that all the routes can be cleared and then regenerated for each test case:

before do

described_class.routes.clear

subject.define_routes

end

Take a look at lita-karma for an example of this. I'm not super happy with the modification of global state in order to do this. There is probably something we can do to make this pattern easier in a future version of Lita.

Thanks, Jimmy - clearing and re-defining routes in the 'before' block worked well!
