Debugging templates

Hello,

I'm using Rails 1.2.1 (Locomotive on OS X). Whenever I make a slight syntax error in one of my eRB templates, the whole page fails to render. I just get a blank page.

Calling "app.get '/foo/bar'" from the irb console just gives me a HTTP 500 status, no error explanation. Looking at development.log just logs various "Rendering ..." tasks. I can't find any way to see in which template I made an error.

Since it's not always obvious, I'd like a more verbose error display also for problems inside templates. How do I do this?

Thanks!

Jens

Are you sure that you're still in development mode? For me, it shows a little error page with my error and all.

Hi,

I'm quite sure because I don't have a production database yet and I can see the data of my dev database. But I also have some plugins installed - dr nics magic models for one, scaffold_extensions, and some others. Maybe that's the problem?

Thanks!

Jens
