Hello: I have found a whole lot of posts on this, however, none of them offer any sort of solution other than restarting the web server, which I can’t imagine everyone out there developing on Rails is doing. I am on page 40 of Agile Development with Rails 3rd edition and trying to get the missing template error to show but until I restart webrick I only get the following: Processing ApplicationController#index (for ::1 at 2009-07-31 12:56:22) [GET] ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/say/hello” with {:method=\>:get}): /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:104:in `service' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:65:in`run’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:173:in `start_thread' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:162:in`start’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:162:in `start_thread' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:95:in`start’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:92:in `each' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:92:in`start’ /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:23:in `start' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:82:in`start’ Rendering rescues/layout (not\_found) I found this on the Pragmatic errata site for the book: I’m really not sure what a non-deterministic bug is?

Non deterministic means is a fancy way of saying that it happens randomly. I have seen this at times, but only ever when adding new controllers (ie adding actions to existing controllers never seems to do this) and never when the new controller had restful routes involved. Between those two that’s the vast majority of my changes covered without a restart Fred ---

Thank you for your reply. I guess I will have to live with it when I am adding new controllers without “restful routes” (not sure what that is but I’m about to go look now!). I guess for someone who was looking for a change from Tomcat and Java and was really exited about not having to restart his container, this seemed to be a real show stopper, but if as you say the vast majority of your changes are covered without a restart then I’ll be back on my Rails journey after my vacation!
