Allowing dot in project identifier
Added by Ehsan Afzali over 13 years ago.
Updated over 13 years ago.
Description
I wanted to know why is dot restricted in project identifier field. Here in our company we use dot syntax for our projects identification and repository names and because your auto repository creation uses project identifier as repository name, it becomes an issue for us.
I think dot should be allowed. Anyone have a reason why allowing dot could be bad?

Sorry, it turns out this won't work due to the routing. Example, identifier - "test.123" gets this error:
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/projects/settings/test.123" with {:method=>:get}):
123 is being used as the format option, which is invalid.

This how you handle the repository explorer because the folders in repository may contains dot
The repository view is different than the projects because projects uses the format option as part of it's rest API (format = xml for "project.xml). If someone wants to submit a patch for this that includes full integration tests for browsing projects with a dot identifier (including different formats for the REST API), then we can see about including it.
