[Rails 3.2] form_tag w :remote => true doesn't fire up the js format

Rails
1

I have a form_tag written like this :

= form_tag search_backoffice_places_path, {:remote =>“true”, :id =>
:searchplaceForm } do
… input fields
= submit_tag t(:search)

generated html is correct :

... input fields

upon submit, params received in backoffice/places_controller#search
{“utf8”=>“✓”, “country”=>“United”, “city”=>"", “street_address”=>"",
“wording”=>"*", “commit”=>“Search”, “action”=>“search”,
“controller”=>“backoffice/places”, “locale”=>“en”}

backoffice/places_controller.rb
respond_to :html, :js
…
def search
… params received
@places = Place.in_country_like(@country).in_city_like(@city)…

@places found 1

respond_to do |format|
  format.html { render :index }
  format.js { }   <=  should render  search.js.erb BUT not ...
end

end

what’s could be wrong ? thanks for feedback ( using asset pipeline )

Can you post the full log for the action (as in log/development.log).

[SOLVED] Thanks Colin for pointing me to the log …
( test.log… as I am testing integration w Capybara + Selenium… => my
eyes were looking at something else …)

I was looking the old way … => a :format js … parameter…
in non obtrusive way , the log clearly state “Processing… as JS”
and rendering search.js.erb at the bottom …
so my Selenium driver is working fine … which was not so easy to fix
when
working with subdomains…
