Error: protected method `render' called for ...

[haslinger]

I see one more regression (updating from Hobo 2.1.1. to 2.2.4 / Ruby 4.0.13 to 4.2.5):

Overriding an index method

def index
  # some ruby
  hobo_index
end

falls in several occasions with the error

  protected method `render' called for #<BlogpostsController:0x00000012e76370>
  app/controllers/blogposts_controller.rb:27:in `index'

Full sourcecode of the controller is available .

Stefan, I'm not convinced this is Hobo.

In case you're wondering: responders is seen here because:

/home/stefan/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/gems/actionpack-4.2.5/lib/action_controller/metal/mime_responds.rb:10:in `respond_to': The controller-level `respond_to' feature has been extracted to the `responders` gem. Add it to your Gemfile to continue using this feature: (NoMethodError)
  gem 'responders', '~> 2.0'

So maybe I should move away from controller level respond_with ...

[haslinger]

@enwood Thanks for your comment, I believe it's an incompatibility to Rails 4.2.x ... will look into this as well ...

[enwood]

Yes I thought the responders gem might be a culprit. Haven't confirmed
yet, but I was NOT using any respond_with calls in my controller methods
and had the error.

I've just had to back down to Rails 4.0.8, no responders gem, and Hobo
2.1.1 to be productive again.

Thanks again @enwood , I'm not in trouble here and can move backwards any time, so no worries :-).
I found out, it's also not me here using the respond_with, the trouble comes from Hobo itself in

gems/hobo-2.2.4/lib/hobo/controller/model.rb

Line 35.

Hi Stefan,

I have tried to reproduce this error in an empty app, unsuccessfully. Maybe there's some gem/ruby version incompatibility we are missing.

I have uploaded the test app here: test_rails_425.zip. I'm running it with Ruby 2.1.5p273, Rails 4.2.5, and Hobo 2.2.4.

Can you download it and try to see if the error happens? The "ThingsController" should have a similar code to your PodcastsController.

Warm regards,
Ignacio

[haslinger]

Hi Ignacio,

thanks for your efforts, I can confirm, that your test app runs fine.

I will no go on and intruduce gems and later probably code to reproduce the issue.
So it's probably not an hobo issue at all...

Cheers, Stefan

[haslinger]

OK, I drilled it down. Ignacio, please change the line in the Gemfile of your test app

gem 'responders', '~> 2.0'

to

gem 'responders', '2.1.1'

to see it fail, change it to

gem 'responders', '2.1.0'

to see it succeed again. To be precise, Hobo is compatible to responders in version 2.1.0, but not to 2.1.1 .

Cheers, Stefan

Thanks a lot Stefan, that makes a lot of sense. I'll try to find out what's wrong.

[enwood]

I've seen a quick work-around ("band-aid") to be this in your controllers:

public :render
