URL generation for named resource controller

[GaryJones]

In my routes.php I have a resourceful route / controller:
Route::resource('manager', 'Battrick\Manager', ['only' => ['index', 'show', 'create']]);

In my Home.php controller, I insert a HTML link, with a named resourceful route, with:
\URL::route('manager.show', array('id' => '11287')) for the href as I want to link to a particular Manager.

However, when calling the home page, I get the following error:

---

MissingMandatoryParametersException: Some mandatory parameters are missing ("manager") to generate a URL for route "manager.show".

(my emphasis)

I've tried digging down into the Symfony Routing files, but couldn't quite follow why the array('manager') (highlighted) was getting set as the first argument of doGenerate(), which then gets used as a check against which parameters were passed (here, just the array('id' => '11287') as I believe it should be), and therefore failing.

Is this a Symfony issue (if so, could someone who can explain it better please pass it upstream), is it some issue with the choice of naming format for named routes for resource controllers in L4, or am I doing something wrong?

[GaryJones]

OK, so the {manager} parameter is being added in addResourceShow(), but that leads to the following inconsistency:

To reach a standard named route I need:
\URL::route('foobar', array('id' => '11287'))

To reach a resource controller named route I need:
\URL::route('foobar.show', array('foobar' => '11287'))

Is that the way it was meant to work? Has {id} been dropped as the default parameter for single items? (Not mentioned or reflected in the docs)

Yes, {id} has been dropped. However, I should point out, you don't have to specify keys at all:

URL::route('foobar.show', array(11287));

will work fine...

{id} was dropped so that resource routes work well with the new Route::model method, which will be documented upon the release of beta 2.

Is the dropping of keys for all routes, or only those created via resource controllers?
