xml format needed in rails 3.0.1??? answer should be NO

what the heck am I doing wrong.

I changed nothing, but now that it is 2011 this call doesn't work as it used to.

Using Active Resource, I can make the following call:

>> Member.find(:all, :params => {:code => "1stb48024957856464d436e79ad9d7bc0c2d46d5a02"})
GET http://localhost:3000/members.xml?code=1stb48024957856464d436e79ad9d7bc0c2d46d5a02
--> 500 Internal Server Error  (1601 371ms)
ActiveResource::ServerError: Failed with 500 Internal Server Error

As you can see, I get a 500 error. So i go to my server to where i'm making the call.

The code is here in the controller:

def index
  @store = Store.first
  @members = @store.members.find_by_code(params[:code])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # index.html.erb
    format.xml  { render @members.to_xml } # i also tried :xml => @members but that screws up too the same way.
  end
end

But below is the stack trace. It's doing my head in why this just stopped working.

Any thoughts are appreciated. I thought xml formats were expempt from render? Jose said as much in this lighthouse ticket, but i can't find what he is talking about.

UPDATE:

Andy that worked as the Server seems to be sending a 200 so thanks, but now i get this error:

Thoughts? should it just be an array coming back开发者_StackOverflow中文版, even if it's ONE record?

render :xml => @members is the way to go.

Make sure you reload/restart your server after making this change if in production.
