Route, namespace and admin controllers

Rails
1

Hi, I’ve created my own locale handling system with the following route
added in routes.rb :
map.connect ‘:locale/:controller/:action/:id’

Works fine.

Then, I’ve added Admin namespace for all the backoffice controllers
app/controller/admin/

Then I’ve added this route to routes.rb
map.connect ‘/admin/:controller/:action/:id’

With this setup, all the functional test runs fine for admin and
non-admin controllers, with locale beeing taken in account only for non
admin controllers.

But with webrick (restarted after every routes.rb modification) I need
to
/en/admin/news to reach the Admin::news controller
instead of (you might guess)
/admin/news which produce a
no route found to match “/admin/news” with {:method=>:get}

I must be wrong, but where ??

Thanks

In your example with WEBrick /admin/news will look for a controller
at /app/controllers/news_controller.rb. Having the static “/admin”
does not affect where it looks for the controller. Your tests run
because they are relative to the path for the test. Your controller
value should be “admin/news” given your directory structure. I am not
sure how to construct a route that would contain a slash however.
