Layout not being inherited

I’m trying to figure out why layout is not inherited.

I have:

app/controllers/parent_controller.rb
class ParentController < ApplicationController
layout “parent”
end

app/controllers/samples_controller.rb
class SamplesController < ParentController

  <typical REST controller generated by script/generate scaffold>

end

When I go to:
http://localhost:3000/samples

my server reports:

I have app/views/layouts/parent.html.erb and
app/helpers/parent_helper.rb

The first is a copy of samples.html.erb with a line added that says
“In
Parent” and the later is just an empty module for ParentHelper.

I don’t see the “In Parent” text either.

This looks like a bug to me but I thought I would check here first.

Thank you,
Perry
