I have another very puzzling question that has cropped up after my upgrade from Rails 2.3.4 to Rails 3.0.3.
I am calling a ‘show’ controller method with the following URL:
/verse/10
and I see this in the terminal
Started GET “/verse/10” for 127.0.0.1
at 2011-01-27 16:17:58 -0800Processing by VersesController#show
as HTML
* Searching for verse with ID:Rendered verses/show.html.erb within
layouts/application (76.6ms)Completed 200 OK in 1006ms (Views:
125.4ms | ActiveRecord: 9.8ms)
The verse show method is very simple:
def show
logger.debug("*** Searching for verse with ID: #{params[:id]}")
@vs = Verse.find(params[:id])
end
The route is defined as follows:
match '/verse/:id', :to => 'verses#show', :as => 'verse'
The problem: the parameter, ID, which in this case is ’10’, is not being passed in to the controller method and so a 404 is being thrown because params[:id] is nil.
The output from “rake routes | grep verse” is as follows:
verse /verse/:id(.:format) {:controller=>”verses”, :action=>”show”}
I’ve spent ages on this but feel as though I’m missing something very obvious.
Here is the full rake routes output:

If you have the
open_id_authenticationplugin installed, that is likely interfering with your routes.
