Question

I have written a simple jquery response in my rails 3 controller, I just want to test to see the result this returns (not automated testing).

My code looks like this:

class AppointmentsController < ApplicationController
def jsonlist
  @appointments = Appointment.find(:all)
  render :json => @appointments
end

Can I access this from a URL like: http://localhost:3000/appointments/jsonlist?

When I try, I get this error:

Couldn’t find Appointment with
ID=jsonlist

Answer 1

The error you’re getting does not appear to come from that action, it appears to be a conflict in your routes for whatever you have defined as your show action. Try defining your route for jsonlist before you define your route for show.
