[Locomotive-users] respond_to strangeness

[Steve Odom]

Hi, I'm using Locomotive with the 1.1.2 bundle and in the process of  
RESTifying my site.

I'm having a strange problem and wonder if it is related to  
Locomotive somehow. because I'm out of troubleshooting ideas in  
rails. Part of my confusion is how whether I can run edge_rails  
stuff, or at least upgrade my vendor/rails directory and how that  
effects locomotive. Here is my problem..

In my controller if I have something like....

def show
@question = Question.find(2)
end

It displays my show.rhtml file with no problems.

If I add respond_to like....

def show
@question = Question.find(2)
respond_to do |type|
   type.html
   type.js
   type.xml { render :xml => @question.to_xml }
  end


..then it starts throwing a "No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template
found for questions/show.rhtml" Despite the fact that my show.rhtml  
file is there.

But it will successfully show questions/2.xml in xml format.

I can get the html to work if I change the type.html line to:
type.html { render :action => 'show'}, but I shouldn't have to do that.

The complete error log it generates is:
No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template found for questions/ 
show.rhtml in /Users/steveodom/Documents/trivionomy/trunk/app/views

I've got a windows machine I could set up to run rails to see if it  
works outside of locomotive, but I'd like to not do that if I don't  
have to.

Thanks,

Steve Odom
