console not working with rails catch all routes

[gucki]

When you have a route like the following the console does not work because the request if captured by rails before the console middleware gets it.

match ":anything" => "index#routing_error", :constraints => { :anything => /.*/ }

I haven't looked at the source, but I think the order of the middlewares has to be changed.

Using "rake middleware", a Rails 3.1 stack is like this:

use ActionDispatch::Static
use Rack::Lock
use #ActiveSupport::Cache::Strategy::LocalCache::Middleware:0x8e231fc
use Rack::Runtime
use Rack::MethodOverride
use Rails::Rack::Logger
use ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions
use ActionDispatch::RemoteIp
use ActionDispatch::Reloader
use ActionDispatch::Callbacks
use ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement
use ActiveRecord::QueryCache
use ActionDispatch::Cookies
use ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore
use ActionDispatch::Flash
use ActionDispatch::ParamsParser
use ActionDispatch::Head
use Rack::ConditionalGet
use Rack::ETag
use ActionDispatch::BestStandardsSupport
use Rack::Webconsole
run Dummy::Application.routes

Reading http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-middleware, we'll need to use:

config.middleware.insert_before or config.middleware.insert_after
at https://github.com/codegram/rack-webconsole/blob/master/lib/rack/webconsole/railtie.rb

I just don't know what Rack app is called when using a "catch all routes".
