Question

I am trying to set up a sinatra app inside my Rails 3 (v3.0.1) application, but having no success. Sinatra gem (v1.1.0) is setup using bundle install.

Here’s what i have.

customer_app.rb class in lib directory –

class CustomerApp < Sinatra::Base

  get "/test" do
    "Hello World"
  end

end

my routes.rb file contains –

CustomerService::Application.routes.draw do

    root :to => CustomerApp

end

The URL i am trying is – http://localhost:3000/test

I get this error (on the browser) – Routing Error. No route matches “/test”

and this error in the log – ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/test”):

Is there anything I am missing??

Also I just noticed, even a simple rack route is not working –

root :to => proc { |env| [200, {}, ["Welcome!"]]}

Answer 1

The root keyword by default maps only the path /.

So you are trying to say, forward any request for / to CustomerApp which can handle requests for /test.

You should change the match filter.

CustomerService::Application.routes.draw do
  match "/test" :to => CustomerApp
end
