hi,

in script/console, when i do  
\>\> rs = ActionController::Routing::Routes  
\>\> puts rs.routes

the list includes  
GET /projects/  
{:controller=\>“projects”, :action=\>“index”}

but

> > rs.recognize\_path “/projects/”  
> > ActionController::RoutingError: no route found to match “/projects/”  
> > with {}  
> > from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/  
> > action\_controller/routing.rb:1292:in `recognize\_path’  
> > from (irb):27  
> > from :0

and

> > rs.generate :controller =\> “project”  
> > ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches  
> > {:controller=\>“project”, :action=\>“index”}  
> > from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/  
> > action\_controller/routing.rb:1266:in `generate’  
> > from (irb):26  
> > from :0

same with my other controllers  
but it works for named routes defined with map.connect and with map.\*

what am i missing?

For rs.recognize\_path “/projects/”, it’d be helpful to include the HTTP  
method. So…something like  
rs.recognize\_path “/projects/”, :method =\> :get  
should work.
