SystemStackError in GreyController#grey_search stack level too deep can anybody please enlighten me on this one...any possible way to troubleshoot? thanks, MSN id: ICEMANyears@netscape.net -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
It''s most often because you have a series of methods which are calling each other circularly, i.e. method_a calls method_b which calls method_a which then calls method_b... and so on. Eventually the stack (which stores the context at each point a new method is entered) runs out of space. Can you find anything like that anywhere in your code? - james On 7/12/06, Mikki W <mikkiw@rediffmail.com> wrote:> SystemStackError in GreyController#grey_search > stack level too deep > > can anybody please enlighten me on this one...any possible way to > troubleshoot? > thanks, > > > MSN id: ICEMANyears@netscape.net > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-- * J * ~

end
