Listing 'rake routes' for a mountable Rails 3.1 engine

Question

I\'m working on a mountable engine for use with Rails 3.1, and I want to list the engine\'s routes.

I created the engine using:

$ rails plugin new ra

If you copy code from the standard Rails 3.1.0 rake routes task into your Rakefile, and change the top part to read:

task :routes => 'app:environment' do
  Rails.application.reload_routes!
  all_routes = RailsBlogEngine::Engine.routes.routes

...replacing RailsBlogEngine with the name of your engine, then you can get a rudimentary list of routes by running:

rake routes

Note that in Rails 3.1.1 and later, you'll need a newer version of the rake routes task.
