Extensions broken on fresh install 2.0.8.

[dfischer]

I was trying to follow the guide on how to create a RefineryCMS install and a demo extension and I got the following error upon visiting http://localhost:3000/events

Routing Error

No route matches {:locale=>:en, :controller=>"refinery/events/events"}
Thoughts on how to fix? It's part of the guides so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

Furthermore, trying another extension like inquiries results in a similar error:
No route matches {:locale=>:en, :controller=>"refinery/inquiries/inquiries", :action=>"new"}

Thoughts? Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in Refinery?

I found the issue causing it.

It appears that anytime you have a link_to it must have a supplemented route (even if empty) otherwise it causes a routing issue.

E.g, I had several links that were placeholders like this

  = link_to 'Home'
  = link_to 'Betterfrontend'
  = link_to 'About'

This code in application.html.haml caused it to fail until I switched it over to:

  = link_to 'Home', ''
  = link_to 'Betterfrontend', ''
  = link_to 'About', ''

This is not the first time I see this "issue" but tbh I'm not sure how can we fix this...

I don't know why you would put a link_to without a url

Sometimes you stub something out for a design. Either way it shouldn't break like that.

Does this happen only with Refinery or also with other things like Spree or a simple Rails mountable engine?

When you don't pass any arguments, Rails will call url_for with no options, which triggers polymorphic_path with no options, which calls polymorphic_url({}, {:routing_type => :path}), which calls...

I stopped at about 20 levels deep. From what I see, Rails is just simply not designed to handle link_to without a second argument. I know it's a splat, but you should simply consider appending '' or '#' as the argument, @dfischer.
