#1818 ✓wontfix

Wrong view rendered

Reported by smargarita | January 29th, 2009 @ 01:13 PM

In one of the /views folders of my application, among the .html.erb files there are:

  • show.html.erb
  • show.html.erbok (an old version of show.html.erb, rename with "erbok" extension)

When I run the "show" action in the controller, instead of rendering show.html.erb, show.html.erbok is rendered.

The show action is

def show @ust = User.find(params[:id]) end

If I delete show.html.erbok, all works fine and show.html.erb is rendered.

I am using Rails 2.2.2 on Mac OSX 10.5.

    Confirmed with rails 2.2.2 and 2.3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10. I had form.html.haml and form.html.haml~ (old backup) in one of my views folders and I was wondering why my updates are not rendered even after restarting server. After deleting backup copy everything works fine.

    • State changed from “new” to “open”

    The problem is that unknown extension types fallback to erb rendering. I know a patch was submitted for this, but maybe they only really wanted ones with no extension to fallback to erb.

    Looks like that commit may not have fixed the problem.

    See the attached patch, it just adds a "shared.html.erb~" file to actionpack's test fixtures, which causes existing tests to fail.

    Apologies for not doing something more positive, like writing a patch that works. I did try, but couldn't get my head around the template-finding code.

    Sorry, but I don't think this is going to be fix fixable for 2.3.

    In 3.0 we can revisit this try to come up with a solid template choosing solution.

    I've just added ticket #1909 which should fix this problem along with some extra benefits. I'd be grateful if you could check it out and see if it fixes things for you.

    I've just run into this problem with the released version 2.3.2.

    With these files present:

    app/views/controller/view.html.erb app/views/controller/view.html.erb.~1~

    the latter (emacs backup file) is being picked up instead of being ignored like in rails 2.1.x and earlier versions. I have not tested with rails 2.2.x.

    Reading through #1909 it seems that the fix Andrew mentions in his comment should already be applied to 2.3.2, but this problem still persists.

    Hi Hans,

    what about master (past v2.3.2.1 tag)?
