Hello guys, sorry for this very newbie question, but I don’t understand
what’s happening.
I got a scaffolded model named User, it has an index action in his own
controller (courtesy of “script/generate scaffold”). This action looks
like
this:
def index
list
render :action => ‘list’
end
So from here what I see this method does is:
- Call the list action to set a pair of variables (it’s not relevant
here). - Render the view for the list action.
The URL doesn’t change from http://localhost:3000/users to anything
else, it
stays the same.
My doubt is: Why something like this doesn’t work?
def index
redirect_to :list # I just want to go to the list action in case no
action
is specified.
end
I thought that would just redirect me to the
http://localhost:3000/users/list. But, I get the following error if I
put
the code above instead of what was there originally (look at first code
sample):
“stack level too deep”
Shouldn’t the redirect_to just take me to the right URL?
In this case if I type this:
http://localhost:3000/clients
I would expect it to take me to:
http://localhost:3000/clients/list
And since that isn’t the case I would appreciate if someone could
explain to
me how is it really working.
Best regards,
Adrián.
