perl_help27 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I have a Dancer2 app with this psuedo code: 
#### Dancer app content
get '/dosmth/:smth' => sub { #some code}

hook after => sub { 
print "URI".request->uri; #This is printing /dosmth/123 and I want to 
+print /dosmth/:smth/
}
###test script 
$t->request(GET "/dosmth/123"); #where i issue the request

[download]
My problem is that in the hook after, I am getting the uri /dosmth/123 but I am interested in the raw path /dosmth/:smth. I printed the whole request and there is nothing inside of it indicative of my needs (no route inside). Any idea how to solve this? Thanks

    Hello perl_help27 and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

    I'm not an expert but as far i understand :smt it's not at all a part of the request: it's a part of the route definition. It says that something following /dosmth/ wil be interpreted as the value of the smth param.

    ps they are called tokens: see named matching

    I'd like to tell you to use request->route because it's documented in Dancer2::Core::Request; however, that method doesn't actually exist.

      however, that method doesn't actually exist.

      Hi,

      It exists if you upgrade your Dancer2 

      sub route { $_[0]->{'route'} }

        Thanks. I guess it's time for me to upgrade too. :)
