Question

I’m making a Rails app where I have a method:

def updateAttributes_post
  if logged_in?
    userPlucky = User.where(:screen_name=>session[:screen_name]).all
    userPlucky.each do | user |
      user.update_attributes(:email => params[:emailAddr], :password=>params[:passwordStr])
      if user.save
        flash[:success] = "Succesfully updated attributes!"
        redirect_to '/dashboard'
      else
        errors = Array.new()
        for i in 0..user.errors.full_messages.count
          errors.push(user.errors.full_messages[i])
        end
        session[:error] = errors
        flash[:error] = "Error saving"
        redirect_to '/update'
      end
    end
  else
    redirect_to root_path
  end
end

which is called on a POST request. The thing is on every if I’m redirecting on both cases, but I’m still getting a Template not found`. If I add a template with the name it asks it just renders the blank template without doing nothing. What I’m doing wrong?

If no user matches (ie userPlucky is empty), you do not call any redirect_to.
