Hello, I''ve heard these words to describe a RoR application returning an empty page. This happen from time to time even here, in the forum. That is the cause of this misbehaviour ? Is it related with something external to RoR itself ? What is the solution to avoid the WSOD ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

He is not describing a problem. He is just wondering what makes this come up and how to avoid it.

A good solution is to try the Ruby code in irb first to make sure its syntax is clean.> What is the solution to avoid the WSOD ? >I think core developers use the console a lot to try new snippets. So getting into that habit may be good. (I don''t use it quite as much as I probably should) -bakki

But saying "I''m seeing a white screen" doesn''t help much. At the very least, check the source of the page (if any) you''re getting. Getting a blank page might be caused by a huge range of causes, from a non-terminated <style> tag to the webserver failing to complete responses. It also depends on local factors, like the client browser. Just asking about "a white screen" is too little information. -- -Alder

Avoiding the WSOD is as simple as switching to Rails 1.1 :) Of course, there are ways to create a blank page within your own code. If you''re on 1.1 and still seeing "a" WSOD (as opposed to "the" WSOD) you''ll have to debug further. -Derrick Spell
Hiall, Maybe this is not so helpful as you most probably ruled it out as a reason already. I saw such a WSOD yesterday in my app, only to find out that a before_filter returned false! development.log was my friend at that time :) cheers Martin On 5/17/06, Derrick Spell <derrickspell@cdmplus.com> wrote:> > On May 17, 2006, at 9:25 AM, Nuno wrote: > > > Hello, I''ve heard these words to describe a RoR application > > returning an > > empty page. > > > > This happen from time to time even here, in the forum. > > > > That is the cause of this misbehaviour ?
