Custom rescue_action_* methods not being called?

Rails
1

All,

Rails 1.1.6
Ruby 1.8.6
Win XP

It appears that none of my rescue_action_* methods, if defined in my
application.rb file, are being called.

I’ve placed debug statements inside of the ActionController Rescue
module to verify that rescue_action is being called.

Here are my overrides in application.rb, none of which are being called

  • they are all protected visibility (these are just for debugging
    purposes, so please no comments on how dumb they look ;]):

    def local_request?
    puts “Calling custom local_request method”
    false
    end

    def rescue_action_locally(exception)
    puts “Calling custom rescue locally method”
    end

    def rescue_action_in_public(exception)
    puts “rescue_action custom called”
    render :text => "

There was a controller specfic error processing your request.

" end

Has anyone seen this case where the rescue_action method in
ActionController::Rescue cannot successfully call any custom defined
methods in application.rb?

Thanks,
Wes
