Hi,

I’m just practising ROR creating short applications.I tried to test the  
console for my sample application and get a different return code from  
the code its mentioned in the textbook…

here is the code

$script console  
Loading dev…

> > app.get “/slides”  
> > =\> 200
> 
> > app.request.path\_parameters  
> > =\>{action"=\>"index, “controller”=\>“slides”}
> 
> > app.get “/slides/1”  
> > 404

where I’m supposed to get 200 in the last line of above code.

Any help would be appreciated…

Raghu

It would be more normal that the second url would be “/slide/1”. If  
that  
doesn’t fix it post your routes.rb file.

RESTful routes are /slides (as you want a list of all the SLIDES  
available)  
and /slide/:id if you want a SLIDE in particular.

Cheers,

Andy
