Missing template pages/layout only occasionally

Rails
1

I have my app email me errors when they occur. I get this about 2-3
times a week with thousands of hits a day to the site. pages/show is a
.html.erb file that renders the partial
_strategicrelationshipacademy.html.erb essentially. Or whatever partial
it calls for. I get this on many different ‘pages’. Obviously the
partial exists if it renders it fine most of the time. What could cause
this?

Message = Missing template pages/layout with {:formats=>[“text/*”],
:locale=>[:en, :en], :handlers=>[:rhtml, :rxml, :builder, :erb, :rjs]}
in view paths “/var/www/procyon-live/app/views”,

Request = {“controller”=>“pages”,
“page”=>“strategicrelationshipacademy”, “action”=>“show”}

Obviously I didn’t want to include the entire backtrace. Let me know if
it would help.

Thanks,

I think it’s looking for _partial.text.erb google for browsers that send
you the text/* format.

Excellent suggestion. From the page view I see this agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; oBot/2.3.1; +http://filterdb.iss.net/crawler/)

So, how do I setup my app to only accept html requests for those routes?
Or, just not fail when it wants text?

Thanks

try passing a formats option to render.

render partial: ‘foo’, formats: [:html]

I finally figured this out. I have an action that only renders html,
but googlebot for instance asks for text format. So, it tries to find
action.text.erb which doesn’t exist.

I added this to my controller and everything works now.

before_filter :force_html_requests, :only => :show

def force_html_requests
request.format = :html
end
