Check if a resource is save and respond_to

[Awea]

Hi @hopsoft, I really like your gem it make my controller really skinny but :

if I have a resource scoped in another

example

resources :projects do
    resources :depot_ids, :except => [:index]
[...]

I need to change respond_to and some other stuff to make it work properly but if I use the respond_to callback I can't easily check if a resource was save or not and do my redirect or my render with erros.

if I use namespace

example

namespace :admin do 
  resources :contents 
end

namespace :front, :path => '' do
  resources :contents, :only => [:index]
end

I got the same problem :)

Solution

May be can change local var success to instance var @success ? If you agree I'll did it -)

I like where you are going with this. I want to setup a test case so I can better feel your pain and then come out of that with a solution, but I like your initial idea of using an instance variable.

Closing this issue since there is a workable solution without requiring a change. https://github.com/Awea/coast/commit/0ced2e3301bfd983ba15232538374cfd831daece

respond_to :create do
  if @project.errors.empty?
    redirect_to [@project, @resource], notice: 'Resource was successfully created.'
  else
    @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
    render action: "new"
  end
end
