I have a requirement to support a query syntax on my resources like
so:
http://localhost:3000/people(last_name=jones).xml
I can hook that up so that the people controller receives that action
via map.connect like so:
map.connect ‘:people_query_regexp’,
:controller => ‘people’,
:index => ‘index’,
:requirements => { :people_query_regexp => /people.*/ }
But people is a RESTful resource, so I want to do the same thing using
map.resources instead of map.connect. If I change the routing to:
map.resources ‘:parties_query_regexp’,
:controller => ‘parties’,
:requirements => { :parties_query_regexp => /
parties.*/ }
…then the server fails on startup like so:
lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/routing/
route_set.rb:141:in define_hash_access': (eval):3:in define_hash_access’: compile error
(SyntaxError) (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘\n’
or ‘;’
def hash_for_:people_query_regexp_index_pat…
It chokes on a syntax error because there’s a colon in the middle of
the method name it’s trying to define.
So is there a way around this? What am I doing wrong? This is Rails
2.2.2, btw.
Thanks.
