Once upon a time I had this in my routes.rb:
map.client_home ‘:client/’, :controller => ‘orders’, :action =>
‘new’
All orders must be scoped within a client name, so this worked quite
well. I used a before_filter to scoop up the @client object by doing
a find_by_name.
Then I decided to expose the OrderController as a fully restful
controller:
map.client_home ‘:client/’, :controller => ‘orders’, :action =>
‘index’
map.resources :orders
but I still needed orders to be prefixed with the /:client in the url;
so this matched everything up:
map.client_home ‘:client/’, :controller => ‘orders’, :action =>
‘index’
map.resources :orders, :path_prefix => ‘:client/’
and in fact it works when I test through a browser, but not in my test
code:
def test_client_orders
get orders_url(:client => ‘myclient’)
assert_response :success
end
results in this:
NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.rewrite

I’ve tried every permutation of the orders_url syntax I can think of.
How can I generate a url for a RESTful path when there’s a variable in
the path_prefix?
Thanks!
