Question

When I check to see if my error message is working correctly, I notice my redirect goes to /businesses instead of /businesses/new after it POST (create action). I am using the regular RESTFUL routes but I need it to go back to /businesses/new on POST when their is an error. How can I do this?

This is my current code:

def create
  @business = Business.new(params[:business])
   if @business.save
    redirect_to :back, :notice => "You have successfully added a new business."
   else
    render :action => 'new', :notice => "Please try again."
  end
end

You should not redirect if the validation is failed. Here is what i should do to stay on the same page.

def create
  @business = Business.new(params[:business])
  if @business.save
    redirect_to businesses_path
  else
    render :new
  end
end
