I tried your code and it works for me. Can you check again?

I tried on Version 2.0.9 (2012-09-17 21:37:10) stable and it doesn't work.

I have just tried on the latest git clone : Version 2.0.9 (2012-10-01 21:16:35) dev and it still doesn't work.

There are no errors, so I don't know what info I can provide to help. The exact code works in the main routes.py file but Not the app-specific routes.py, which is in the app directory.

Thanks Massimo. Pls let me know what info you need to troubleshoot.

i can confirm that

routes_onerror = [
(r'/404', r'/app/static/error404.html')
,(r'/*', r'/app/static/error.html')
]

works only on the global routes.py but not app-specific routes.py

I confirm that this issue still exists in:
Version 2.2.1 (2012-10-22 18:50:13) stable

Not sure if this is related to another app-specific issue on the google groups: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/OQKvy0XI3Ps/discussion

@jklundell : can you verify if this is still happening ? I feel like more and more users are getting discontinued results from app-specific routes vs global ones. frankly, I use always global ones, and I'm lost in the rewrite code to understand if some syntax is only allowed in app-specific or not...

The problem, I think, is that the routes_onerror code is basically part of the pattern-based router, and the app-specific routing logic is part of the parametric router. I think. I haven't done anything at all with web2py for almost two years, so I'm really hazy on the details right now. But I am starting a new project with it, so I should be getting up to speed.
