"root" doesn't work as advertised in new routing DSL

DHH- State changed from open to resolved
Fixed the documentation instead. Allowing the :to to use a string to signify the controller would clash with the regular use of :to that uses a symbol for an action.

Sorry to reopen this on you, but the last two lines of the script above shows that adding #index doesn't work either. I'm flexible on what the syntax is, but I would like to have one that works.

Works for me. Added a test to the suite testing root specifically and that works too. Think it must be something in your test script.

My ENTIRE script is posted at the top of this ticket. Now that you have committed a change to the generated routes.rb, the last two lines are not necessary.
It can be 100% reproduced with an new and otherwise completely empty project.
In words, the script is as follows:
1) Generate a controller named welcome with a single action, named index.
2) Uncomment out the root line in config/routes.rb
3) Change "assert true" to "get root_path" in test/functional/welcome_controller_test.rb
4) Execute "rake db:migrate"
5) Execute "rake test:functionals"If there is something wrong in that five step test script above, please tell me what it might be. Otherwise, I suspect that something about the unit test environment doesn't match how Rails is actually run.
A complete set of output is included below:

Your functional test is the problem. You can't use paths for the get there. That's what you do in integration tests. In functional, you'd do get :index.
I've verified that root :to => "welcome#index" works fine in the browser as well.
