Redirect loop

rubyonrails-talk

I have one record in a database that is encountering a redirect loop.

When I point my browser to "www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/1", it displays a redirect loop error message.

When I point my browser to "www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/2", it does not.

Now, when I point my browser to "www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/show/1", no error occurs and the page is displayed exactly as it should.

Also, when I point my browser to "www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/show/2", no error occurs and the page is displayed exactly as it should.

What is the problem here? My routes are set up correctly when I review the output of rake routes.

If there's any code you need, please ask. However, I assume someone has encountered this before.

So what's different about that record? I'd bet it includes or references some resource that's the problem.

Surely if that were true, it'd error when I pass in the 'show' action into the URL?

That depends on how your routes are set up.

Best,

Look at your log files to see where the browser is being redirected & by what bit of your code
