Rails full error page not showing for view errors
error-handling, ruby-on-rails, stack-trace, view
Solution
Are you sure that you are running the development environment? Check that `RAILS_ENV=development` or that you are running `rails server -e development`.
Then check your development.rb file, you should have the following line in it
config.consider_all_requests_local = true
Problem
I have a view named `new.html.erb` with the following code: ``` <%= some_non_existent_thing.imaginary_method %> ``` Now, I only see one simple 500 error page, like that: 500 Internal Server Error If you are the administrator of this website, then please read this web application's log file and/or the web server's log file to find out what went wrong. Shouldn't I see a pretty formatted page with some information about the exception? I'm not sure I miss something here, but I believe rails used to show the full error page in development environment when there is something wrong in the view.
