Why is it that when rescue_action is called with any exception except
for
RoutingError, “self” refers to a controller within my application, but
when
there’s a RoutingError, “self” refers to an object of
ActionController::Base? This makes some sense because a “RoutingError”
implies that no controller was found to process the request. However, I
am
trying to render pages (rather than doing a redirect) from within
rescue_action and none of my application-wide helpers or my
application-wide
filters (defined in application.rb and application_helper.rb) are being
loaded/called/etc.
