Question

I don’t think I quite understand how rails updates its view pages. I have deleted a piece of code in my index view, and when I go to refresh page, the code is still present. I tried restarting the server, and I can’t think what else to do. Must be a simple thing that I haven’t learnt yet, as I’m new to rails. Thanks

EDIT:

Routes

    projects GET    /projects(.:format)          projects#index
             POST   /projects(.:format)          projects#create
 new_project GET    /projects/new(.:format)      projects#new
edit_project GET    /projects/:id/edit(.:format) projects#edit
     project GET    /projects/:id(.:format)      projects#show
             PUT    /projects/:id(.:format)      projects#update
             DELETE /projects/:id(.:format)      projects#destroy
      search        /search(.:format)            projects#search
        root        /                            projects#index

config/routes.rb:

FinalApp::Application.routes.draw do
    resources :projects
    match "search" => "projects#search", :as => :search
    root :to => 'projects#index'
end

Index action in Project Controller:

def index
    @projects = Project.all



respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.json { render :json => @projects }
    end
  end

If it stays the same after editing the html, you are not viewing what you think you are viewing.

• Maybe you have both a index.html.erb and a index.html.haml file?
• Are you sure you did not accidently copy the index.html.erb outside the app/views/projects/ folder, so Rails takes the one in that location?
