Dealing with multiple root paths and scopes in Rails - ruby-on-rails

We have the following routes setup:
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
scope "/:locale" do
...other routes
root :to => 'home#index'
end
root :to => 'application#detect_language'
end
Which gives us this:
root /:locale(.:format) home#index
root / application#detect_language
which is fine.
However, when we want to generate a route with the locale we hitting trouble:
root_path generates / which is correct.
root_path(:locale => :en) generates /?locale=en which is undesirable - we want /en
So, question is, is this possible and how so?

root method is used by default to define the top level / route.
So, you are defining the same route twice, causing the second definition to override the first!
Here is the definition of root method:
def root(options = {})
options = { :to => options } if options.is_a?(String)
match '/', { :as => :root, :via => :get }.merge(options)
end
It is clear that it uses :root as the named route.
If you want to use the root method just override the needed params.
E.g.
scope "/:locale" do
...other routes
root :to => 'home#index', :as => :root_with_locale
end
root :to => 'application#detect_language'
and call this as:
root_with_locale_path(:locale => :en)
So, this is not a bug!

Spina CMS routes set default landing page

I have Rails app that uses Spina CMS,
I want the landing page \ to be one of the pages in admin.
for ex. localhost:3000\home is my localhost:3000
currently getting 404 setting root :to => 'pages#home'
Seems root :to ... is getting overriden by Spina routes
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
match '(*any)', to: redirect(subdomain: ''), via: :all, constraints: {subdomain: 'www'}
mount Spina::Engine => '/'
root :to => 'pages#home' # => not working...
get '/*id' => 'pages#show', as: "page", controller: 'pages', constraints: lambda { |request|
!(request.env['PATH_INFO'].starts_with?('/rails/') || request.env['PATH_INFO'].starts_with?("/#{Spina.config.backend_path}") || request.env['PATH_INFO'].starts_with?('/attachments/'))
}
end
In the route page replace root :to => 'pages#home' to root 'pages#home'
and add
resources :pages
Let me know if this works for you :)

Rails "redirect_to" Nested routes with latest model

In my rails app I have two models nested,
Gameround > currentplayer
Gameround is shown on play.html.erb, I also make the currentplayers there. When the currentplayer is made I want to redirect the user to currentplayer#show but I can't seem to figure out the way to route the link. I've tried everything I can think of.
So I need a link that says:
Get url to thiscurrentGameround/ThiscurrentplayerIjustmade
My controller:
def createPlayerforUser
#latest_game_round = Gameround.order(created_at: :desc).first
#currentplayer = #latest_game_round.currentplayers.create({
log_id: #current_user.id
});
if #currentplayer.save
redirect_to url_for([#gameround, #currentplayer])
end
end
config.routes
resources :gamerounds do
resources :currentplayers
end
resources :gamesessions
# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
# See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes".
# Artikkel, Alien liste
resources :expansions do
resources :aliens
end
resources :users
# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
#root 'gamesessions#play'
root 'gamesessions#new'
#root 'application#show'
#root 'public#index'
get "signup", :to => "users#new"
get "login", :to => "sessions#login"
post "login_attempt", :to => "sessions#login_attempt"
get "logout", :to => "sessions#logout"
get "profile", :to => "sessions#profile"
get "setting", :to => "sessions#setting"
get "play", :to => "gamesessions#play"
get "wait", :to => "gamesessions#wait"
get "aliens", :to => "aliens#index"
If you run rake routes in the terminal, your list of routes should include one for showing currentplayer. You should be able to use
redirect_to gameround_currentplayer_url(#latest_game_round, #current_player)

Rails 4 static subdomain

I can't set root path for subdomain.
This is my routes.rb part:
constraints subdomain: 'blog' do
scope :module => "blog", :as => "blog" do
resources :posts
end
end
root 'statics#index'
When I am visiting blog.example.com I've got static#index action response and get posts#index, when visiting blog.example.com/posts.
I want to set root path for blog.example.com pointing to posts#index.
No effect for this:
match '/' => 'posts#index', :constraints => { :subdomain => 'blog' }, via: [:get]
I believe you should still be able to call root within the constraints block:
constraints subdomain: 'blog' do
root :to => 'posts#index' # Perhaps this needs to be `blog/posts#index`?
scope :module => "blog", :as => "blog" do
resources :posts
end
end
root 'statics#index'
This works for me with separate namespaces for each subdomain.

Application Helper Methods Availability

I am using Rails 4 and am trying to include the koudoku stripe gem. Here is my routes:
# Added by Koudoku.
mount Koudoku::Engine, at: 'koudoku'
scope module: 'koudoku' do
get 'pricing' => 'subscriptions#index', as: 'pricing'
end
resource :account
devise_for :users, :skip => [:sessions]
as :user do
get '/login' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :new_user_session
post '/login' => 'devise/sessions#create', :as => :user_session
get '/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', :as => :destroy_user_session
end
get '/dashboard', to: 'dashboard#index'
get '/reports/generate', to: 'reports#generate'
authenticated :user do
root :to => 'dashboard#index', :as => :authenticated_root
end
root :to => redirect('/login')
And this is the error I am getting:
undefined local variable or method `root_url
I can access the other routes just fine, it is just trying to render the Application Helper methods (for instance, a custom app method I have defined, or routes methods) from the module routes... Does this make sense? How do I fix this?
Try adding "main_app." before your root path. For example:
main_app.root_path
Conditional logic in the routing layer kind of goes against the intent of the Rails MVC architecture. The route file should just map a web request to a controller, which then has conditional logic to determine what is displayed.
In this case it's a bit different since you want to redirect, but I personally would still put it in the controller. In other words send the root to dashboard#index, and then at the top of that controller (or in a before_filter) just do
redirect_to login_path unless current_user_authenticated?
(here I'm assuming you would have a named route for login, which would be good practice, as well as a current_user_authenticated? method to check whatever logic you want before the redirect. This would be a more Rails-y approach, whatever that's worth...)

How can I redirect multiple devise model to multiple specific urls?

I got three independent devise models, ergo I got three different sign_in screen. And all three have got a dashboard:
devise_for :md1
devise_for :md2
devise_for :md3
match 'md1/dashboard' => 'md1#dashboard', :via => :get
match 'md2/dashboard' => 'md2#dashboard', :via => :get
match 'md3/dashboard' => 'md3#dashboard', :via => :get
I want when there is a mdX succesfully sign in, it will redirect to mdX#dashboard, and if it is possible by GET. I tried:
devise_scope :md1 do
root :to => 'md1#dashboard'
end
devise_scope :md2 do
root :to => 'md2#dashboard'
end
devise_scope :md3 do
root :to => 'md3#dashboard'
end
Then when I succesfully sign in with md1 I got redirected to md1 dashboard, but when I succesfully sign in with md2 I got redirected to md1's sign_in screen.
Then I tried:
def after_sign_in_path_for resource
dashboard_path resource
end
But there isn't such method. Is there an easy way to do this or it has to be with the if statements for each model?
UPDATE
Some routes to make a better understanding and more information to get a better solution
md1_dashboard GET /md1/dashboard(.:format) md1#dashboard
md2_dashboard GET /md2/dashboard(.:format) md2#dashboard
md3_dashboard GET /md3/dashboard(.:format) md3#dashboard
Thanks in advance
When you are writing this:
devise_scope :md1 do
root :to => 'md1#dashboard'
end
devise_scope :md2 do
root :to => 'md2#dashboard'
end
devise_scope :md3 do
root :to => 'md3#dashboard'
end
You are defining three root routes, with the same name. Since they conflict, only the first will be used. That's why only md1 worked. You probably meant to write this:
scope :md1 do
root :to => 'md1#dashboard'
end
scope :md2 do
root :to => 'md2#dashboard'
end
scope :md3 do
root :to => 'md3#dashboard'
end
On this case, you will define three different root routes, at three different scopes (check rake routes again). Note scope is a router method that scopes your routes, devise_scope does not scope any route, it simply tells which devise scope you want to use, which you don't need to tell unless Devise explicitly asks you so (you will know when it does).
After this change, everything should work as expected. Note that Devise by default uses #{scope}_root_path to redirect after successful sign in, that's why the code above works (check rake routes and you will see you md1_root, md2_root, etc are now defined).
