Rails Error explained?

Rails
1

I just got my first error, “ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken”.

I can’t seem to find any reference anywhere to an explanation of what
these errors actually mean (perhaps it has to do with manually adding a
view? The file just contains the words “Hello World”), altho there are
a few old posts about how to “turn it off”.

Well adding this to the controller worked:

protect_from_forgery :only => [:create, :update, :destroy]

Also very disappointed that a web interface API does not include a
search function (!), meaning I had to use grep on the doc source –
which is very awkwardly laid out from a “grep” perspective.

I guess you can’t ask for everything.

Re: the API, why can’t you use your browsers search feature?
Everything is on the one page - in frames.

That’s totally wacked. The API I am referring to involves quite a few
seperate files in usr/local/lib/ruby/doc/. There would be not much
purpose to frames if they were not multiple pages. Most html’ified API
documentation does not have a search function, I was just hoping for a
bit more from ruby :wink:

Mostly my complaint would be that there does not seem to be anywhere
describing the meaning of the server errors.

“had to”? you meant “totally enjoyed the opportunity to”, right? :slight_smile:

Anyway, see: http://railsapi.com/

This is a dead link. I presume you mean the same thing that’s at
localhost:8808?

works for me.

The security guide http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ discusses csrf
protection.

It was because of the link in the post (don’t use <>?), I just tried the
actual address and that looks good. THANKS.

Also thanks Fred for the “guides”
