rendering specific layout rails

Im trying to render a specific layout when the form is NOT properly filled:

Inside my views/layouts I've:

My controller: 

class UsersController < ApplicationController

  def new
    @user = User.new
    render layout: "empty" # I wan to re-use this layout is the user is not been saved
  end

  def create
    @user = User.new(user_params)
    if @user.save
      redirect_to sign_in_path
    else
      render :new
    end
  end

  def user_params
    params.require(:user).permit!
  end
end

The thing is that it works it re-renders the new-action when it's not true BUT it uses Application-default layout and NOT the other layout-file called: empty.html.erb

According to Rails guide lines it should work...but not for me :(

Thanks for your time

In the def create method, the render :new is rendering the new.html.erb view using the default layout. You can try

 render layout: "empty", template: "users/new"

render merely "paints" the page according to the layout and template given to it.

redirect_to "new" will send a request for the new action.
