Hello!  
in folder public/pdf I have a file “test.pdf”

when I try it open [http://127.0.0.1:3001/pdf/test.pd](http://127.0.0.1:3001/pdf/test.pd)  
everything is ok, browser open test.pdf.

but when I try to redirect in method  
(redirect\_to\_path “/pdf/test.pdf” )

I see error

no route found to match “/pdf/test.pdf” with {:method=\>:get}

what is wrong?

…that you’re asking a Rails on ruby-talk. I also suspect that a Google  
search would answer your question quickly, although I’m not sure  
because I don’t actually use rails.

Are you sure that leading / is supposed to be there? Maybe it should be  
“pdf/test.pdf” instead of “/pdf/test.pdf”.

I’m not really much of a Rails user (I’ve just toyed with it a little),  
but that’s the first thing that leaps to mind.
