I have a set_lang() and a write_to_log() method in app/controllers/application.rb
set_lang() calls write_to_log().
Nothing happens. I should expect that write_to_log is either called or an exception is thrown. However, it seems that it is silently ignored. To prove this I called write_to_log00(), which does not exist. Still the same behavior.
Is this normal?
To make things more specific, here is my code:
# file: app/controllers/application.rb
def write_to_log(msg) File.open("logfile.txt", "a") do |file| now = DateTime.now file.puts("#{now}\t#{msg}") end end
def set_lang code = params[:id] if code != "el" && code != "en" && code != "de" code = "el" end @lang = code
write_to_log("set_lang\t" + code)
cookies[:lang] = { :value => code, :expires => Time.now + 1.year, :path => '/' } # redisplay the page in the new language redirect_to request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] end
