After freezing edge rails, all my controller examples are failing with  
MissingTemplate errors.  
e.g., “Missing template attachments/create.erb in view path app/views”

Trying to actually render the views gives me the same error.

I noticed I can fix most of them by using respond\_do but I usually  
never use it. I almost always only need to respond to one format in  
one action so I omit respond\_to and let Rails figure out which file to  
render.

Will Rails no longer do this in 2.3?

Correction: I meant ‘respond\_to’, not ‘respond\_do’.

## It’s trying to render a create view and generally create actions don’t have a view, they just redirect somewhere (probably to the object that was just created). Make sure in your controller that it’s definitely redirecting or doing _something_ other than trying to render that view.

It’s not just create, it’s seemingly all my actions. I just found this  
though:
