Rails 4: around_generate sometimes not being called about routing-filter

[dark-panda]

I am seeing this behaviour as well. This appears to occur OptimizedUrlHelper calls ActionDispatch::Http::URL.url_for directly rather than through ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet#url_for, which in turn the generate method that routing-filter hooks into. OptimizedUrlHelper bypasses that generate call altogether and skips right to ActionDispatch::Http::URL.url_for.

Two other options:

• If you populate default_url_options, the optimized url helper is not used.
• You can define optimize_routes_generation? on your controller(s) to decide dynamically whether or not the routing filter can be skipped.
