Forum: Rails Engines Migrating to 1.2

Hi there

I've been trying to move my rbac plugin over to the new rails. So far 
its
worked pretty well - all my models work from the console, and after 
swapping
configuration over to class variables that all still works. The biggest
problem is that all my old routes don't work. I've got a user controller 
for
example, with a login action. I used to go to /user/login and the login
action would be run (as you'd expect) - this worked with the default 
rails
routes. However, now /user/login generates a routing error telling me it
doesn't exist. Is there anything i'm supposed to do with the new 
version?

Hi James,

Well spotted - this was a result of the fact that plugins can be
'enginized' as part of the plugin loading process now, which occurs
before routing is started up. Previously this wasn't an issue because
Engines.start was called after routing was configured. There's a fix
in the release branch; see http://dev.rails-engines.org/tickets/258
for more details.
