Missing :resource_path for map.resources

[Alexander Hoth]

Hi there,

I am building an application with I18n support and
resources_controller. The current locale is determined by the first
element of the path. I am using Sven Fuchs´ routing-filter plugin to
accomplish something like this:


http://www.example.com/items # I18n.locale = I18n.default_locale
http://www.example.com/de/items # I18n.locale = :de

The ItemsController is mapped in the routes.rb file

map.resources :items

and set up as an resources_controller_for :items


Unfortunately, this setup raises an "NoRecognizedRoute" Exception
within the resources_controller.rb, when the locale part is present in
the path ( e.g. for "de" in the example above)

My workaround is, removing the locale part of the path before handing
it over to route recognizing.

def recognized_route
...
# original line
route.recognize(path, environment)

# patched line
route.recognize(path.sub( %r(^/([a-zA-Z]{2})(?=/|$)), ""),
environment)
...
end


That seems kinda smelly for me, so what I really need is the
possiblity to add the :resource_path parameter in the routes mapping,
like we can use it for named routes. Is there any special reason why
this is not possible?

map.resources :items, :resource_path => "/items"

Hi Alexander,

I've just pushed a change that makes RC much less picky about which
route is used to invoke the controller. I;m still working through it,
so seeing if it works for your case would be very useful knowledge for
me.

Cheers,
Ian

Hi Ian,

I've just tried the commited changes, but it still raises a
NoRecognizedRoute exception here: route.recognize(path, environment) with
request.path = "/de/items"

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the feedback.

Back a few steps: Have you tried setting :resource_path to '/items'
in route definition? (because I would expect that to work)
i.e. Are you saying that

map.resources :items, :requirements => {:resource_path => '/items' }

is not solving your problem?

Cheers,
Ian
