I''m trying to figure out why layout is not inherited. I have: app/controllers/parent_controller.rb class ParentController < ApplicationController layout "parent" end app/controllers/samples_controller.rb class SamplesController < ParentController <typical REST controller generated by script/generate scaffold> end When I go to: http://localhost:3000/samples my server reports: Processing SamplesController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2007-08-19 16:11:33) [GET] Session ID: BAh7BiIKZmxhc2hJQzonQWN0aW9uQ29udHJvbGxlcjo6Rmxhc2g6OkZsYXNo %0ASGFzaHsABjoKQHVzZWR7AA%3D%3D-- cdf58d4f1f219a35fb0792623148183f1dab5872 Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"samples"} SQL (0.000499) SHOW client_min_messages SQL (0.000151) SET client_min_messages TO ''panic'' SQL (0.000090) SHOW standard_conforming_strings SQL (0.000079) SET client_min_messages TO ''notice'' Sample Load (0.001488) SELECT * FROM samples Rendering template within layouts/samples Rendering samples/index Completed in 0.00824 (121 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.00272 (33%) | DB: 0.00231 (27%) | 200 OK [http://localhost/samples] I have app/views/layouts/parent.html.erb and app/helpers/parent_helper.rb The first is a copy of samples.html.erb with a line added that says "In Parent" and the later is just an empty module for ParentHelper. I don''t see the "In Parent" text either. This looks like a bug to me but I thought I would check here first.
