[jifty-devel] Mysterious Dispatcher / Jifty::View::Declare vanishing templates

[Peter Mottram]

Jifty, Jifty::DBI and TD now all as of git on 11/6 and still have my weird 
errors. DumpDispatcher shows the dispatch table correctly when called from 
a before rule but the rule that should be triggered (which logs as its 
first action) is not called. Here is some debug output:

2010/06/14 14:45:47 DEBUG> Dispatcher.pm:873 Jifty::Dispatcher::_do_dispatch - Dispatching request to /course/Emergency_First_Response
2010/06/14 14:45:47 DEBUG> Dispatcher.pm:648 Jifty::Dispatcher::_do_before - Matched 'before' rule (?-xism:(?<=\A/)([^/]*)(?=/|\z)) for /course/Emergency_First_Response

All looks fine to me but the required rule is not called since its info 
log output doesn't appear in the log output above. I can get different 
parts of my app to 'disappear' depending on the order that I go through 
the site.

Any hints as to whereabouts in Jifty core I should start inserting more 
debug logging?

TIA
