…r both mounted engines & the app itself

This is really cool :) |

This hack is pretty neat, but isn't there any other way to iterate through all the engines other than that? Also, I think this only works if spinach is loaded after all the other Engines am I right?
If that's the case, maybe this code should be initialized someplace here:
https://github.com/codegram/spinach-rails/blob/master/lib/spinach-rails/railtie.rb#L12
There should be a way to be sure we're the last gem to be initialized.
Or did I get something wrong?

Ok, I see you actually mentioned this on the Issue 👍
Do you have the time to maybe tackle the problem from the Railtie and we can then merge it into master?

Would love to... Maybe you also noticed the engine is installed into vendor/plugins, support for which will be removed in Rails 4. May want to address that prior to merging, also.

@rthbound ObjectSpace is disabled by default in JRuby. I don't think it's a very good idea to use it if we plan to keep our cross-implementation support.

@txus
Totally fair. It's a handy hack, but agreeably not a solution we should merge.

If you get rid of ObjectSpace, it's a big +1 for me and I'll merge it right away :)

Looks like Rails::Engine.ancestors could replace searching ObjectSpace

@txus I've got something together, but tests are failing (even on a fresh clone)... |
|
@rthbound any luck? |
|
@txus looks like the failures are due to problems with the test itself and likely not to do with the implementation. Have not yet confirmed. |

Addresses #11 by generating an env.rb file that loads routes for any mounted engine and for the application itself (loads url_helpers for main_app and 'engine_name')
Warning, it's ugly... The thought of this code going into every spinach user's env.rb file grosses me out.
Perhaps it could be moved into the railties file...
