Rails控制器方法

Question

I have a controller action that is calling a model method to render some data. The controller looks something like this

class WeekController < ApplicationController
  def index
      @week = Week.first
  end

  def render
    Week.render
    redirect_to root_url
  end
end

Currently my Week.render method has a bug in it and is causing errors. Which is fine, however when I am calling my index action the page fails because of the error in my render action.

Is it normal for rails to call actions other than the one being called or is there something weird going on?

Answer 1

It is ok to call other actions as long as you don't call redirect_to or render multiple times in a response.

By the way render is a reserved word, and you should not use it for a custom method.
