Render Edit after Create

After creating a new object I want to take the user straight to the edit page for that object.

If I do that with 

if @object.save
      flash[:success] = "Object added!"
      render 'edit

I get an "undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass" error.

If I go to the index view and click through to the edit view for that object I can edit it just fine.

Do I need to use redirect_to rather than render? and if so what is the correct way to phrase it?

Try:

redirect_to edit_"whatever"_path(@object)

It should work.

As you are actually rendering the template, but not the action.
