Testing actions which render nothing

Rails
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to write a functional test for an action which does not
render a template (calls render :nothing => true). When I run the test
it raises a “Missing Template” error. I’m a bit confused by this as I
don’t think it should be trying to render any template, and the action
works without errors when manually tested. Any ideas how to fix this?

Many thanks

It’s always worked fine for me. In my tests I also put a test that
template == nil.

If you’re getting a Missing Template error, you sure you’re looking at
the right action?

Yep. If only it were that easy! :slight_smile: I’m probably doing something silly,
I’ll keep trying…
