complex Rails app with new ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound error

Question

I have adopted a Rails app that has a lot of complex relationships. We started getting ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound error and am trying to track it down. Is there a way to wrap relationships in a begin ... rescue block to determing which one is causing us problems similar to what they are doing here for a find method. Or is there a way to log that exact sql call that is getting the RecordNotFound error?

thx

hmm... so not able to find post I was referencing but I really just need to find the relationship that is busted. In my logs, I just see that it is rendering the template for 'not_found' records but I'm not sure what is causing it.

thx

Without your relationships & logs, everything is conjecture; but if you're getting a RecordNotFound error - it basically means you're trying to load a record which doesn't exist in your db

No - a better way to debug is to find the logs in your /log/development.log file & then display the response here.

A pointer is that I don't think the relationship will be the issue. The relationship will just return null if nothing is there; the RecordNotFound error will be a result of ActiveRecord not being able to find the requested resource

EG

@post = Post.find 13 #-> RecordNotFound if a post with id 13 does not exist

If you post your logs & code, it will be the best way to help us solve your issue!
