English is not my native language. What did you mean by digging through the blame output? > Feel free to add a comment-patch, then we can look at changing the > implementation after 2.2 final ships. I'm discussing this with Joshua Peek on http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/1296-simplify-glob-in-pathsrb-actionpack-to-get-a-cleaner-code#ticket-1296-6 I'm waiting for some orientation of how should I submit this patch... If I should deprecate this support or not. How should I deprecate in this case. I need to know if I could comment the code for better understanding and if I could add a note to Rails documentation about symlinked dir lack of support or one level support. My main concern is about making the code clearer. I've spent a lot of time finding out why that line of code was written that way, when trying to understand the Rails behaviour for rendering a template... If at least there was a note in the Ruby documentation for the glob method stating its symlinked dir limitation, it would be easier to understand. Actually, I'm willing to send another patch to Rails guide to explain how subtemplates can be achieved with Rails. It is not documented in Rails documentation at all and I found it hard to get some references at the time, mostly because of a lack of documentation of the render behaviour. So, I intend to explain this on Rails guides or in the core documentation. I still don't know which place would be the more appropriate. While trying to understand why I could do subtemplating the way I was doing I needed to search the Rails code, since that method was not well documented. Then I found that line of code that I couldn't understand why it was so complicated... Even the extra unnecessary '*' adds further complication... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
