Rails 4.2 - url helper raises "ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 1..2)"

Question

We are upgrading our Rails app from 4.1 to 4.2.

While this code works great in 4.0 and 4.1:

admin_root_url(:subdomain => 'www')

When I try it on 4.2.3 I get this error:

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 1..2)

I checked it several time in console, running this code:

include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
default_url_options[:host] = "localhost"
root_url

Our Gemfile looks like this:

================ edit (2) ===============
I dived into the code and saw that the line in /gems/actionpack-4.2.4/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb (282) that raises the error is that:

t._routes.url_for(hash, route_name, url_strategy)

While the url_for function signature in url_rewriter is:

def url_for_with_subdomains(options, path_segments=nil)

Looks like I need to update something, but I don't know what.

================ edit (3) ===============
Just to be sure that it has nothing to do with my routes.rb file, I cleaned it and left it like that:

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  root 'pages#index', :constraints => {:subdomain => /www|$^/}
end

As expected, still have the same error.

Answer 1

In case you get that error in the console, because you use a helper that uses URL helpers:

class << helper; include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers; end
helper.my_method # \o/

Answer 2

Try to remove subdomain-fu and use Rails4 request.subdomain when needed.

Answer 3

Had the same problem, the solution was instead of using:

include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers

I din't included and added url_helpers to a variable, like this:

url_helpers = Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
url_helpers.root_url

Answer 4

I had exactly same problem and at the end in my case

t._routes.url_for(hash, route_name, url_strategy)

called url_for_with_secure_option from bartt-ssl_requirement gem.

Since we don't need bartt-ssl_requirement gem anymore in our case solution was to simply remove bartt-ssl_requirement gem.
