caching issue when overriding controller
Reported by Colin Jones | June 6th, 2008 @ 04:29 AM
Using Rails 2.0.2 and Engines 2.0.0-RC1, I get
NoMethodError (undefined method `controller_name' for nil:NilClass)
when overriding a controller from an Engines plugin with one in the application itself---upon sweeping the cache.
An update action works as expected, and the cache directory does get swept, but after a redirect to the index action, I get the NoMethodError.
The same controller works fine from the plugin, but not when it's overriding the basic controller in the plugin.
LOG:
Cache directory '/var/www/apps/geda/releases/20080604150823/public/cache/' fully sweeped.

Could you post the minimal set of code (cache sweeper + controller actions) that might be able to reproduce this? I think we're talking about
- a controller in a plugin
- a controller in the app, overriding the plugin
- a redirection in the app controller action
- possibly some interaction with cache sweeping.
Without the cache sweeper, does it work?
Thanks - hopefully with these details we can figure out what's going on.

Not sure if the issue was with Rails 2.0.2, Engines 2.0.0-RC1, or something in my code, but I can't replicate the problem with Rails 2.1.0 / Engines 2.1.0.

If anyone can replicate this issue with Rails 2.0 (or 2.1, for that matter), please re-open this ticket and point us to a suitable minimal example (or even better, a github fork with a failing test!)
Thanks for reporting on this, Colin!
