uninitialized constant Mime::HELLO

rubyonrails-talk
#1

Hey all,

if I do something like this in one of my controllers like users
controller:

if self.respond_to :hello

and I have the hello method declared in application controller, which
all my controllers inherit from:

def hello
end

Then why does the interpreter say:

uninitialized constant Mime::HELLO

Thanks for response

Because the method for checking whether an instance responds to a
method is respond_to? (respond_to is a rails thing to do with what
format to use for a response)
