Ruby On Rails Not Redirecting On Create

Question

I am creating a website that allows you to schedule events, when creating a new event it is added successfully to the database and the console will output that it's redirected to view the event, however no redirect seems to ever occur. I've tried removing the respond_to do |format| and rewriting it, however that didn't change anything. Neither did rewriting the redirect to redirect_to.

Console output

rails_1    |   Event Create (0.8ms)  INSERT INTO `events` (`username`, `date_made`, `date_for`, `title`, `attendees`, `owner_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `description`, `is_all_day`, `color`, `text_color`) VALUES ('screamingatrocks@proton.me', '2022-06-26 21:12:17', '2022-06-08 00:00:00', '', x'', 13, '2022-06-26 21:12:42.625491', '2022-06-26 21:12:42.625491', '', FALSE, '#000000', '#000000')

Events Controller

  # POST /events or /events.json
  def create
    @event = Event.new(event_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @event.save
        UserMailer.event_reminder(current_user)
        format.html { redirect_to @event, notice: "Event was successfully created." }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @event }
      else
        format.html { render :new, status: :unprocessable_entity }
        format.json { render json: @event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

Form

 <%= form_with(model: event) do |form| %>
...
 <div class="actions">
    <%= form.submit %>
  </div>

If you are using turbo, you need to return status 303 to turbo know that you want to redirect, so you need to add status: :see_other to redirect_to

format.html { redirect_to @event, notice: "Event was successfully created.", status: :see_other }
