Redirect

Rails
1

In one of my controller methods I need to set a flash[:notice] and
redirect back to the form to show the error.

I have this code:

master_storeids = params[:master_storeid]
if (master_storeids.nil?)

  flash[:notice] = 'No store was is selected'
  redirect_to :action => 'new_data'
end

followed by the “normal” code that would be proceesed if no error
occurs.

Problem is that the redirect doesn’t seem to do anything it just
continues on to the remaining code.

I have verified that master_storeids is nil and there is a new_data
method in the controller.

The redirect does do something. Any further attempts at rendering or
redirecting should fail.

To be safe just add a return statement after the redirect to complete
the processing.
