Rails - Dec 2008 - Using "if else" in a helper

Hello,

I am trying to move some logic from my views into a helper.  If album
with id 123 is found the view displays "found". If I replace 123 with
something that does not exists the page is just blank... Why don''t I
get the "not found" message?

Any ideas?

#album view
<%= link_to_album rescue nil %>

#album helper
  def link_to_album
    if Album.find(123)
      link_to "found", @album
    else
      link_to "not found", @album
    end
  end

Best regards.
Asbjørn Morell.

Fire up your console and see what happens when you try these:

Album.find(123)

Album.find_by_id(123)
