evaluating rubycode after redirect

[11175]

Hi,

there is somthing, that I do not understand.

class MyController < ApplicationController

  def index
    ...
  end

  def my_def
    redirect_to :action=> "index" unless params[:id]

    my_model = MyModel.find(params[:id])
    ...
  end
end

when I try to call "my_controller/my_def" without an id in y browser,
then the find-statement will is evaluated why?!?

thanks Guido

because redirect_to is not a return.. it's a method call.. use the
following form:

def my_def
  if params[:id]
    my_model = MyModel.find params[:id]
  else
    redirect_to :action => "index"
  end
end
