We’re building a Sitemap plugin and I’m running into an issue.
(Yes there has been a lot of discussion around the need for a sitemap, but Google News totally requires it)
Somehow the code in the controller is never executed and I get the regular “The page you requested doesn’t exist or is private” message.
Because I suspected an issue with the view, I have stripped the code so it should only output a log line and an error, but this doesn’t work either.
Code is here:https://github.com/communiteq/discourse-sitemap/blob/master/plugin.rb#L20-L26
Running it does this:
If I rename the generate method or change the route, I get an error that the controller could not be found, so I should be on the right path here. Is there anyone who can spot (the probably very trivial) issue?

Why do you have two routes for get "sitemap.xml" ?

I have now monkey patched robots_txt to make it work, and commented out the part that references the engine.
This is the commit you should be looking at

You need a client route as equivalent for a server routehttps://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-home-page-to-discourse/12329/2?u=endruk
And on the client you have to call the server controller:
I’m not sure you can display views through controllers without an Ember route map. The only time I’ve called Ruby controller methods is through ajax calls. Take a look at the plugin how-to and look at the section where Robin talks about the route map.
Hope this helps you

robots.txt is requested by search engine bots, not by the user.
