Rails - Create internal server error (500) at localhost

Question

I couldn't see 500 error when I accessed a URL for which there is no Data, rather it was showing the 'Template missing' error. At the same time, when I ran it at the server, it had shown the 500 error. I need to do testing at local machine. So please tell me how I can create such a situation at localhost?

Thanks & Regards, Rajesh

Answer 1

You can create such situation in localhost if you run the server in production mode: rails s -e production (Of course, if the error is still present)

Answer 2

If you are getting a template missing error is most probably because you are missing the view file for a given controller action

Ex: if you have a controller called users

class UsersController < ApplicatationController

   def index
   end

end

by default rails is expecting a view in

app/views/users/index.html.erb (or haml)

But if you could post the error log you are getting we might be able to help you more
