hey all - wondering if someone would relive my confusion…

given a model called say Meeting and a route as  
“map.resources :meetings”

in the console:

> > r=ActionController::Routing::Routes  
> > r.recognize\_paths “/meetings”  
> > =\>{:action=“index”,:controller=\>“meetings”}

all works as I expect, but if I do

> > r.recognize\_paths “/meetings/1”  
> > =\>{:action=“1”,:controller=\>“meetings”}

which is what Id expect for a map.connect, but not for a map.resources  
similarly

> > r.recognize\_paths “/meetings/1/new”  
> > =\>{:action=“1”,:controller=\>“meetings”,:id=\>“new”}

Does recognize\_path not work for map.resources, or am I doing  
something very wrong?

thanks  
Glenn

Heh. I thought I’d pitch in this morning but I get

NoMethodError: undefined method `recognize\_paths’ for  
#ActionController::Routing::RouteSet:0xb787cfb4

I tried recognize\_path but it seems to be looking for more information  
than  
I’m giving it based on your code there.

I will say that the results you’re getting aren’t what I’d expect but I  
can’t seem to manage to make them for myself.

sorry to top post… but it in your case would it be you havent set  
routes up for this?

That’s why I used “/admin/users” as a path [something I _do_ have a path  
for  
in my routing] instead of what you were using. 😉 If you look at that  
empty  
hash there, that’s the problem. It’s looking for a params hash most  
likely  
but I haven’t mucked around in the source looking for documentation so I  
can’t tell for sure.
