Faraday not working on Rails

Question

I'm trying to use Faraday with Rails 4 for Google API Oauth in below code:

class GoogleApisController < ApplicationController

    def oauth2callback
        require 'faraday'
        render layout: false

        conn = Faraday.new(:url => 'https://accounts.google.com',:ssl => {:verify => false}) do |faraday|
            faraday.request  :url_encoded
            faraday.response :logger
            faraday.adapter  Faraday.default_adapter
        end

        @result = conn.post '/o/oauth2/token', {'code' => params[:code],
            'client_id' => "some_id",
            'client_secret' => "some_secret",
            'redirect_uri' => "some_redirect_uri",
            'grant_type' => 'authorization_code'}

    end
end

But when I do @result.body.inspect it doesn't return anything.

So @result return nil and doesn't seem to process at all.

However when I try the above codes in liveshell it seems to work.

Is there a reason why this is happening?

If you try to render before you instantiate the object you are trying to render , the template won't actually have anything in it. Moving the render statement to the bottom of the method will take care of the issue.
