Views are not registered from inherited views

[Andreas Jung]

Consider the following:

class SomeView(grok.View):
    ..

class RSS(SomeView):
    grok.context(foo)
    grok.name('rss')

   def render(self):
    ....

The grokking machinery does not tie the 'RSS' to the the 'foo' class if the base class of RSS is inherited from
another view. Replacing the base class SomeView with grok.View however works as expected.

Bug or feature (Grok 0.13)?

I cannot confirm this bug. I tried the following:

import grok

class viewbug(grok.Application, grok.Container):
    pass

class Index(grok.View):
    pass # see app_templates/index.pt

class SomeView(grok.View):
    def render(self):
        return "SomeView"

class RSS(SomeView):
    def render(self):
        return "RSS"

and I can access both 'someview' and 'rss'.

Andreas, any feedback on this issue? Perhaps it has something to do with the whole view subclassing issue in general which JW and I are currently working on.

[Andreas Jung (ajung)]

The issue is likely obsolete (perhaps my initial issue was wrong) - no idea. I am using subclassed views for a while with the latest
Grok versions.
