Js.erb templates broken in 2.3.0 RC1?

Reported by zeno | February 19th, 2009 @ 08:40 PM

js.erb templates seem to be broken in 2.3.0 RC1. Is this a known issue?

Controller (controllers/posts_controller.rb)


def create
  …
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js
  end
end

View (views/posts/create.js.erb)


alert("the js.erb template is working!");

When I fire the Ajax.Request to /posts I don't get the js alert dialog specified in create.js.erb. I don't get any errors or warnings in the server log. But if I look at the ajax response (with Firebug) I'm basically getting back the whole html layout template...

hmmm, some "evolutions": it seems to work if I specify render :layout => false :
```
def create
  …
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js { render :layout => false }
  end
end
```

I believe this issue already came up and was fixed on master. If you could please try again on edge and let me know if your still having any problems.

Joshua, I'd like to try it on edge, but I can't even start mongrel with the latest revision (9702636a08e50e9fed9bf76ad620a6a0a109009e) because of a cookie_store/session error...

Apparently other users have the same issue (see Thibaud's comment here: #2001 )

Sorry, that issue was just fixed. Please try once again.

Thanks Joshua,

I could finally test this issue (js.erb templates) with the latest edge revision, and yes, I confirm it has been fixed: js.erb templates are working great out-of-the-box

thanks z

- Tag changed from “2.3-rc1, javascript, render, template” to “javascript, render, template”
- Assigned user cleared.
sorry if it is out of topic,
but still, found out through those comments how to but,
working currently with 2.3.4 rails version and jquery,
had to put the render :layout => false in the format.js
to make my .js.erb templates working (and took forever to get this page to be noticed... ;) ).
