Routing problems with and without route helper

[joshsmith]

When I use post '/email_processor' => 'griddler/emails#create', I get the following error:

Invalid route name, already in use: 'email_processor'  (ArgumentError)
You may have defined two routes with the same name using the `:as` option, or you may be overriding a route already defined by a resource with the same naming. For the latter, you can restrict the routes created with `resources` as explained here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#restricting-the-routes-created

When I use the route helper mount_griddler without any arguments, I get this error:

undefined local variable or method `mount_griddler' for #<ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper:0x007f95a6d78f50> (NameError)

Clearly not desired behavior, but not really sure why this might be happening. Any thoughts?

Can you share your Gemfile and and routes file?

Hi,

Same issue, my Gemfile :

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '4.0.0'
gem 'haml'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', :git => 'git://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass.git', :branch => '3'
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'turbolinks'
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 1.2'
gem 'griddler'

group :development do
  gem 'sqlite3'  
end

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.0'
end

group :test do
  gem 'factory_girl'
end

My routes.rb file :

Myapp::Application.routes.draw do

  mount_griddler
  match '(:locale)', to: 'posts#index', via: [:get, :post]

  scope ':locale', :constraints => { :locale => /fr/ } do

    resources :posts

    root to: 'posts#index'
  end

end

Cheers, Julien.

The mount_griddler helper is not in the released version of Griddler.

@jlerpscher are you also seeing the Invalid route name error with the post '/email_processor' => 'griddler/emails#create' line?

@JoshSmith it sounds like you have another route defined called email_processor. Check your config/routes.rb for that name, or as @theycallmeswift suggested you can post your routes and we'll take a look.

Thank you for your reply,

If I use this line, I have the following error:

Invalid route name, already in use: 'email_processor'  (ArgumentError)
You may have defined two routes with the same name using the `:as` option, or you may be overriding a route already defined by a resource with the same naming. For the latter, you can restrict the routes created with `resources` as explained here

Can you paste the output of rake routes | grep email_processor, or let us know if there isn't any output?

[calebhearth]

I'm also wondering if this is some sort of double-require issue. What happens if the griddler change is the last line in routes.rb?

[jlerpscher]

Here is the output of rake routes (before trying to add the griddler route):

email_processor POST /email_processor(.:format) griddler/emails#create

Putting the route at the bottom of routes.rb doesn't change anything.

[calebhearth]

Ah, so the problem is that, in the released version of Griddler, we had already defined the route.

If /email_processor works for you, there is no need to add it to routes.rb. If not, please use the github version of Griddler until we cut a release: gem 'griddler', github: 'thoughtbot/griddler' and you can defined it wherever you'd like:

post '/your/favorite/path' => 'griddler/emails#create', as: :email_processor

Sorry about that, totally our fault.

[jlerpscher]

No problem, I will use the Github version until next release!

Thanks for this awesome gem :)

I just pushed a new version. Let us know if you run into any more issues, and thanks for working with us to troubleshoot.
