I have narrowed my problem in a prior topic (I’m having trouble with Routes) to the fact that I get the problem, below only when I reload my page. Clicking on links to go to the pages I want … I seem not to have problems. Given that it seems to be a reload that is generating an “/undefined” path somewhere … can anyone suggest what I should be looking for to fix the problem?

You are using warden. Does the issue occur without warden? If not, the first thing you can do is to update to the latest version of warden (0.9.0). If that doesnt solve the problem, maybe post an issue at github if you feel it is warden related. > **[Issues · wardencommunity/warden](https://github.com/wardencommunity/warden/issues)** > > General Rack Authentication Framework.

Jeez, that was hard. Devise changed several of its interfaces and it was a joy and a half tracking all(?) of them down. Anyway … same problem. I have no idea how I would pull out warden and still have anything left working. So … I’m gonna go heads down and learn FireBug and see what the hell is going on. ---

If you have comprehensive tests, then the tests tell you where things changed. If you don’t have comprehensive tests, write some _now_, before you write any more application code. Then get in the habit of doing all new development test-first. > Anyway … same problem. > > I have no idea how I would pull out warden and still have anything left > working.

Firebug won’t help unless this is a JavaScript issue, which it almost certainly is not. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

FIrebug, apparently, has the ability to actually see the messages going back and forth. I know you said it is a logging option … but I can’t find it. I’m at debug level … and I can’t tell when messages are being triggered and wht the exact contents are. ---

The tests exercise the code for you. You can just run your whole test suite and get a report on what broke where, rather than having to track down all your method calls by hand. If you’re using autotest, this is done for you every time a file changes. Developing without tests is fragile and negligent IMHO. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

Then get in the habit of doing all new How would tests catch the fact that some Devise helper methods moved to a new file any better than actually running the code? ---

Firebug has the ability to see HTTP requests, but unless you’re using Ajax, this is of no use in your situation. You already get to see this in the Rails logs. > I know you said it is a logging option … but I can’t find it. Then read the logger docs.
