Find does not raise exception

Rails
1

Hi
I have the code

def index
@messages = message_thread.messages
end

private

def message_thread
begin
current_user.message_threads.find(params[:thread_id])
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
logger.warn “No permission or thread_id nil”
render :file => “#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html”
end
end

And even if params[:id] does not have any values I dont get any

exception . I can’t figureout why. Please help

Thanks

begin
current_user.message_threads.find(params[:thread_id])
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound

The problem is here:

 logger.warn "No permission or thread_id nil"
 render :file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html"

end
end

And even if params[:id] does not have any values I dont get any
exception . I can’t figureout why. Please help

You have a rescue statement which is overriding the exception:
current_user.message_threads.find(params[:thread_id]) rescue
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound

remove the rescue first you will see an exception.

Hi Edmond
Thanks for your reply. The problem is not that. Even it enters in
rescue, it does not render :file => “#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html”. But
it continues execution and I get problem at @messages =
message_thread.messages

as nil.messages

Thanks
Tom
