route not matching in IE

[Christof Haemmerle]

the following route matches in all browsers but IE

class App extends Spine.Controller
  constructor: ->
    super

    @routes
      '/': ->
        console.log 'match /'

    Spine.Route.setup
      history: true
      shim: false

app = new App el: $("body")

demo: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/125755/route.html
adding a @Navigate "/" also works in IE

i would expect the route to also mach without the navigate in IE

Which version(s) of IE do you see this in?

Well now, that's not good... Thanks for reporting this!

[Christof Haemmerle]

this is my temporary fix. after

Spine.Route.setup()

i call

@navigate window.location.pathname

[Christof Haemmerle]

the fallback to history false works if the you match an empty route

'': -> @log 'asdf'

but then '/' does not mach anymore
also this is only an issue with IEs not supporting the html5 history

This was my fix, I appended the routes file in line 134. In ie9 the path is window.location.pathname instead of window.location.hash (as noted by rico)

Also I am using the js version not the coffee script version

if (path == ''){
  path = window.location.pathname;
  if (path.substr(0, 1) !== '/') {
    path = '/' + path;
  }
}
