create action, fails validation, renders new and then calls the index action silent the background?

Hi Guys,

Strange issue going on, cant get to the bottom of it.

I have a bog standard form which submits to the create action fine. If the validation fails however the new action is rendered with the appropriate errors,

however in the logs i notice the index action is called silently and I can see the trace of sql, see below:

controller code

def create

@discussion = Discussion.new

@discussion.assign_attributes(params[:discussion].merge(created_by_id: current_user.id), :as => :admin)

respond_to do |format|

if @discussion.save

format.html { redirect_to discussion_path(@discussion), notice: “Discussion was successfully created.”}

else

format.html { render ‘new’ }

end

end

end

The clue might be in what is being rendered in the second request:

  Rendered admin/shared/_quick_links.html.erb (2.1ms)

Maybe an AJAX request?

thanks for your reply. Yes, thats what i thought originally but firebug wasnt showing any ajax requests. I will have to go through each bit and find out exactly where the request is coming from, probably some javascript somewhere.

turns out it was this line of code in the layout

give me strength!
