respond_with not working on specific controller #491

Closed

Description

@trobrock

I have two controllers in a Rails 4.0.2 app (CapsulesController and InstancesController). respond_with does not use the serializer I have for Capsule, but InstancesController will use the Instance serializer I have. The controllers and serializers are here: https://gist.github.com/trobrock/a574870dff5fafbc2115

I can get the serializer to kick in if I use respond_to in CapsulesController's index action.

Any idea why this would happen?

    I have also experienced this, the README claims that respond_with uses the serializer because it uses to_json, however I have not found this to be true.

    respond_to is working because you are explicitly stating render json:... I presume, which afaik is the easiest way to make your AMS work.

    respond_to do |f|
        f.html {}
        f.json { render json: @animals }
      end

    I dont think it help a lot, but I'm suffering from the same issue.

    respond_with isn't using serializer at all

    respond_with has since been removed from Rails itself, and I don't consider it to be good practice. If someone wants to fix this, they can, but realistically, I'm not going to, so rather than give you false hope, I'm closing it.
