Routes with the same name break the URL generator

[Wardrop]

Routes that have the same name, but which have a different signature, cause the URL generator to think the route doesn't exist. For example:

controller :allocation do
  get :index {}
  get :index, :with => :id {}
end

url(:allocation_index) #=> Raises exception: route mapping for url(:place_index) could not be found!
url(:allocation_index, :id => 2) #=> Works just fine

I had expected Padrino to support routes with different signature for url generation, but this does not seem to be the case. I'm not sure if this is a bug, an oversight, or by design, but I believe Padrino should handle this case as there's no reason it couldn't.

This is true, routes are only generated by name and the second definition wins. There are several issues with the router, which is why we are planning a rework.

I'll add your request to the routing rework ticket and leave it open:

#747

Tried with this app @ HEAD

 module Test
   class App < Padrino::Application
     register Padrino::Rendering
     register Padrino::Mailer
     register Padrino::Helpers

     controller :allocation do
         get :index do; end
         get :index, :with => :id do; end
     end

         p url(:allocation_index) 
         p url(:allocation_index, :id => 2)
   end
 end

This bug was fixed it seems.
