I have noticed that if I have an application layout (app/views/layouts/
application.html.erb) and I copy it to a backup file (e.g., app/views/
layouts/application.html.erb.bak) and then make changes to the
original, for some reason Rails seems to want to refer to the .bak
file rather than the original file. So, changes that I make to the
original file are effectively ignored. I''ve now been caught by this
anomaly twice now. I think it''s time that I understood it. An
explanation would be appreciated. Thanks.

The workaround is not to have any extra files, such as backups, in view folders. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The bug you''re tripping over here looks like this one: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1818-wrong-view-rendered The solution in the short term is to not leave backup files laying around. That''s what source control is for... --Matt Joens On Nov 24, 11:15 pm, doug <ddjol...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I have noticed that if I have an application layout (app/views/layouts/ > application.html.erb) and I copy it to a backup file (e.g., app/views/ > layouts/application.html.erb.bak) and then make changes to the > original, for some reason Rails seems to want to refer to the .bak > file rather than the original file.
