Why is Rails looking for a template while I have told it to render a
specific file? This worked under Rails 2. I read http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/render-options-in-rails-3/
which from I gather makes any format.xxx look for a template xxx
which is *not* what I need to do as the file is created dynamically:
In my controller:
pdf_file_path = "./directory/file_name.pdf" # just an example,
assume this file exists
respond_to do |format|
format.pdf { render :file => pdf_file_path }
end
But I get:
ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template comparisons/display
with
{:handlers

[:erb
, :rjs
, :builder, :rhtml, :rxml], :formats=>[:pdf], :locale=>[:en, :en]}
in view paths "/Users/DK/Documents/ror/projects/creditcompare3/app/
views"):
Is there a way / better way to do this?
I think that you're looking for either send_file or send_data
depending on how you create the PDF. If there actually is a file,
then send_file will be what you want. If you still have the data in
memory, then send_data(stuff) is similar to render(:text => stuff)
