Rails friendly error page in development.

Question

In my config/environments/development.rb I have the following line:

config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = true

which means I should get all the ugly error stuff when in development environment. But for some reason my app has suddenly started giving me the pretty error page you're supposed to see on production.

Is there possibly some place where this may have been over-ridden? Other people are working on the project as well so maybe one of them did something to cause it.

Answer 1

Someone might be overriding the local_request? (api) method somewhere, it's a way to always show the proper error page.

I just answered someone else's question on how to override it. You basically just would put a method in one of the controllers (like ApplicationController) like this:

def local_request?
  false
end

So, possibly someone used that somewhere. Do a full project search in textmate or using grep.
