I have Rails 3 application (running Rails RC1), and I have the following  
controller:

class PluginsController \< ApplicationController  
respond\_to :html, :xml, :json

def index  
@plugins = Plugin.all  
respond\_with(@plugins)  
end  
end  
If I try to render [http://localhost:3000/plugins](http://localhost:3000/plugins) it works fine, showing  
me the HTML version. If I try to get [http://localhost:3000/plugins.json](http://localhost:3000/plugins.json),  
it also correctly sends me the JSON response.

However if I try [http://localhost:3000/plugins.xml](http://localhost:3000/plugins.xml), I get the following  
error:

Template is missing

Missing template plugins/index with {:locale=\>[:en, :en],  
:formats=\>[:xml],  
:handlers=\>[:rjs, :haml, :erb, :rhtml, :builder, :rxml]} in view paths  
“/Users/fcoury/Projects/backend/app/views”,  
“/Users/fcoury/Projects/backend/vendor/plugins/haml/app/views”,  
“/Users/fcoury/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.01@rails3/bundler/gems/  
devise-6754ae7/app/views”  
Also, my ApplicationController is pretty simple:

class ApplicationController \< ActionController::Base  
protect\_from\_forgery  
layout ‘application’  
end  
I have tried taking out the layout line from the control, but same  
result.

Don’t know if it’s relevant, but I am using HAML and I only have one  
view file called plugins/index.haml.html.

Any ideas why this may be happening?
