Create and Update return Request Failed (code 500, Internal Error)

[barmstrong]

Hi All,

I'm using the original https://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold in a Rails 2.3.10 project. So this isn't a true issue with vhochstein's version, but could be related so I wanted to post it here in case anyone can point me in the right direction.

When I do a create or update action, active_scaffold shows "Request Failed (code 500, Internal Error)" in the browser.

Here is the relevant console output:

Processing Admin::MarketsController#update (for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-06-28 10:54:16) [PUT]

I was able to work around this by creating my own create and update methods in the controller which override the default ones created by active_scaffold. They look like this:

def create
  @record = Market.new(params[:record])
  if @record.save
    self.successful = true
    @insert_row = true
  end
  respond_to_action(:create)
end

def update
  @record = Market.find(params[:id])
  if @record.update_attributes params[:record]
    self.successful = true
  end
  respond_to_action(:update)
end

So I have a temporary work around for now but was wondering if anyone had encountered this or had a suggestion on how to fix it.

Thanks! Brian

At least I can tell you that you are the first one reporting this issue. Have you disabled backtrace silencer So should nt be a general issue. It s more likely that some other plugin/gem in combination with acitvescaffold is source of your issue.

However, I suggest to post to activescaffold group and explain your issue...

Will close this issue. In case of any further questions....
