Is your HomeController in the same assembly as your CharmSimRegistry?

Yes, it's all one assembly...but isn't it the behaviour you expect? The action I use as Home does not enter the UrlPolicy. This also happens in the HelloSpark app in fubu, I checked via /_fubu/routes

The action matching should have hit the HomeController and added the two actions to the BehaviorGraph just fine. Yes, the CharmSimUrlPolicy should never hit the HomeController.Start method because it already has a Route (HomeIs adds a route with "" as the pattern). You should see the SomethingElse() in your _fubu/chains view

That's settled then, thanks for your time...
