[Catalyst] [Beginner] Understanding actions and controllers - not!
Hi.
Somewhen over the weekend I had the impression that I em beginning to
understand how actions and controllers work. I was wrong.
Starting with a bare minimum project, only using the standard root controller
with three standard subs: index, default, end.
I created a view, then set up an 'index.tt' template, as well as a
'error404.tt' template. index.tt contains the following line (via a wrapper):
In the default action sub I have
$c->stash->{template} = 'error404.tt';
Using:
/localhost:3000/ -> renders index.tt nicely
/localhost:3000/foo -> renders error404.tt nicely
/localhost:3000/foo/bar -> renders error404.tt broken, the css file is not
found!
The debug screen says:

What am I missing here? Why is the first pathpart (1st argument) now suddenly
prepended to my static path? All templates are in the same directory under
root/
TIA,
Ekki

I've tended to use: I guess it depends on how it's being hosted, but I couldn't assume the top level URL space, so a straight absolute URL seemed a risk.

But why? :-) I mean, coming from years of traditional web development it's deeply ingrained not to use absolute paths. I would never have expected to have Cat meddle with my views in such a way. Anyway, it works now, and I am progressing quite nicely. Catalyst seems more and more impressive to me.

$c->uri_for('/static/wherever') is the correct solution. Giving it an absolute
path will most likely break if you end up deploying your application somewhere
other than the server root.

I'm catching up on list mailings, so I'm sorry about the delay on this response. I think an important point was overlooked here...

The document you're returning to the browser contains a relative path to the CSS file: The browser looks for that relative to the location of the current page. If the URL of the current page is http://www.example.com/foo/bar, then the browser expects to find your stylesheet at http://www.example.com/foo/static/css/main.css.
