default index action not working anymore in 1.3 Beta

Using this configuration for my base router. Calling he controller base uri, e.g. /test will resolve TestController::indexAction() properly in phalcon 1.2.6

Since I updated to phalcon 1.3. ( windows dll ), it tries to resolve TestController::2Action as it is the action key in the routes config.

Although I use Router groups with a subcontroller mvc setup, this behaviour is the same for using router directly and include the prefix in each path definition

$router = new Phalcon\Mvc\Router(false);
$router->removeExtraSlashes(true);
$router->setDefaultAction( 'index' );
$router->setDefaultController( 'index' );
$router->add( '/', array(
    'controller' => 'index'
));
$hype = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Router\Group( array(
    'controller' => 'index',
    'action' => 'index'
) );
$hype->setPrefix( '/hype' );
$hype->add(
   # all 3 working in 1.2.6 and phalcon 1.3 alpha
   #"/(\w+)(?:/(\w+))?(/.*)*",
   #"/:controller(?:/:action)?(?:/:params)?",
   #"/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(?:/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+))?(?:(/.*)*)?",

   "/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(?:/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+))?(?:(/.*)*)?",

    array(
        "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
        "controller" => 1,
        "action" => 2,
        "params" => 3,
    )
);
$hype->add( '', array(
    "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
    'controller' => 'index',
    'action' => 'index'
));
$router->mount( $hype );

This simple test validates on phalcon 1.2.6 :

$testRoutes = array(
    '/',
    '/hype/',
    '/hype/',
    '/hype/controllerToken',
    '/hype/controllerToken/',
    '/hype/controllerToken/actionToken',
    '/hype/controllerToken/actionToken/',
);
/** @var \Phalcon\Mvc\Router $router */
$router = $di->get("router");
foreach ($testRoutes as $testRoute) {

    //Handle the route
    $router->handle($testRoute);

    echo 'Testing ', $testRoute, '<br>';

    //Check if some route was matched
    if ($router->wasMatched()) {
        echo 'Controller: ', $router->getControllerName(), '<br>';
        echo 'Action: ', $router->getActionName(), '<br>';
        echo 'Namespace: ', $router->getNamespaceName(), '<br>';
    } else {
        echo 'The route `'.$testRoute.'` wasn\'t matched by any route<br>';
    }
    echo '<br>';
}
// Correct behaviour in phalcon 1.2.6 :

Testing /
Controller: index
Action: index
Namespace: 

Testing /hype/
Controller: index
Action: index
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Testing /hype/
Controller: index
Action: index

Testing /hype/controllerToken
Controller: controllerToken
Action: index

Testing /hype/controllerToken/

Testing /hype/controllerToken/actionToken
Controller: controllerToken
Action: actionToken
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Testing /hype/controllerToken/actionToken/
Controller: controllerToken
Action: actionToken
Namespace: Hype\Controller

On phalcon 1.3 it doesn't resolve the action names. I get the numerical placeholders of the route config instead ( notice the Action: 2 output ) :



    // Incorrect  behaviour in phalcon 1.3 :

    Controller: index
    Action: index

    Testing /hype/

    Testing /hype/controllerToken
    Controller: controllerToken
    Action: 2

    Action: actionToken
    Namespace: Hype\Controller

    Testing /hype/controllerToken/actionToken/
    Controller: controllerToken
    Action: actionToken
    Namespace: Hype\Controller

What's going on here? Should I submit this as an issue on github?

Could you try defined the routes this way:

$hype->add(
    "/:controller",
    array(
        "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
        "controller" => 1,
        "action" => 2
    )
);

$hype->add(
    "/:controller/:action/:params",
    array(
        "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
        "controller" => 1,
        "action" => 2,
        "params" => 3,
    )
);

$hype->add( '', array(
    "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
    'controller' => 'index',
    'action' => 'index'
));

$router->mount($hype);

Same issue. I also included routes test for the base routes that are handled by the router instance itself ( below the uri prefix for the router group )

$router = new Phalcon\Mvc\Router(false);
$router->removeExtraSlashes(true);
$router->setDefaultAction( 'index' );
$router->setDefaultController( 'index' );
$router->add( '(?:/(\w+))?(?:/(\w+))?(/.*)*', array(
    "controller" => 1,
    "action" => 2,
    "params" => 3,
));
$router->add( '/', array(
    'controller' => 'index',
));

$hype = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Router\Group( array(
    'controller' => 'index',
    'action' => 'index'
) );
$hype->setPrefix( '/hype' );

$hype->add(
    "/:controller",
    array(
        "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
        "controller" => 1,
        "action" => 2
    )
);

$hype->add(
    "/:controller/:action/:params",
    array(
        "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
        "controller" => 1,
        "action" => 2,
        "params" => 3,
    )
);

$hype->add( '', array(
    "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
    'controller' => 'index',
    'action' => 'index'
));
$router->mount( $hype );

Tested routes :

 $testRoutes = array(
  '/',
  '/test',
  '/test/routes',
  '/test',
  '/hype/',
  '/hype/controllerToken',
  '/hype/controllerToken/actionToken',

);

Output phalcon 1.3 ( windows dll ) :

Testing /
Controller: index
Action: index
Namespace: 

Testing /test
Controller: test
Action: 2
Namespace: 

Testing /test/routes
Controller: test
Action: routes
Namespace: 

Testing /test
Controller: test
Action: 2
Namespace: 

Testing /hype/
Controller: index
Action: index
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Testing /hype/controllerToken
Controller: controllerToken
Action: 2
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Testing /hype/controllerToken/actionToken
Controller: controllerToken
Action: actionToken
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Output phalcon 1.2.6 ( windows dll )

Testing /
Controller: index
Action: index
Namespace: 

Testing /test
Controller: test
Action: index
Namespace: 

Testing /test/routes
Controller: test
Action: routes
Namespace: 

Testing /test
Controller: test
Action: routes
Namespace: 

Testing /hype/
Controller: index
Action: index
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Testing /hype/controllerToken
Controller: controllerToken
Action: index
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Testing /hype/controllerToken/actionToken
Controller: controllerToken
Action: actionToken
Namespace: Hype\Controller

Note that in the above there is another issue for the route /test when /test/routes has been given to router->handle() before. In that case the action is still routes, but should be index as it was succesful in the initial test "Testing /test"

Ok, there was a typo in your code. Instead of

 $hype->add(
                "/:controller",
                array(
                    "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
                    "controller" => 1,
                    "action" =>2
                )
            );

it should be either

 $hype->add(
                "/:controller",
                array(
                    "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
                    "controller" => 1,
                    "action" =>'index'
                )
            );

or

 $hype->add(
                "/:controller",
                array(
                    "namespace" => 'Hype\Controller',
                    "controller" => 1,
                )
            );

simultanously for the base router

 $router->add( '/', array(
                'controller' => 'index',
            ));
            $router->add( '/:controller', array(
                "controller" => 1,
                "action" => 'index',
            ));
            $router->add(
                "/:controller/:action/:params",
                array(
                    "controller" => 1,
                    "action" => 2,
                    "params" => 3,
                )
            );

fixes all the issues there too,
