Rails 5 204 No Content

Question

No template found for ChefsController#create, rendering head :no_content Completed 204 No Content

This is an issue in Rails 5 that helps with APIs

I've seen this post and several others but I am still stuck. https://www.rubyplus.com/articles/2771-Rails-5-Basics-View-to-Model

This is my process of trying to debug this:

Given that I am running the local server
And I am on the localhost:3000/signup
When I enter in the name, email, password & password_confirmation
Then I expect to create a new Chef

Instead I receive a 204 No Content error:

When I run my tests I receive this error:

When I run the $ rails console the Chef can be created

AH HA, I just noticed that the chef ids are all nil. Why? Oh, they are not, :(

  Chef Load (4.2ms)  SELECT "chefs".* FROM "chefs"

I deleted the first Chef with no password just in case it was causing issues but it made no change.

> @chef = Chef.find(1)
  Chef Load (0.7ms)  SELECT  "chefs".* FROM "chefs" WHERE "chefs"."id" = $1 LIMIT $2  [["id", 1], ["LIMIT", 1]]

I thought I was about to solve this issue but I didn't.

I remembered that debugger can make your server hang if you don't close it properly. I thought that may be my issue but it wasn't. I restarted my virtual-box and ran the server again and received the same error.

I had put the debugger in the create method but my server never reached the debugger. It was stuck on the new method.

In my local view: local::3000/chefs/3

My code:

config/routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  root 'pages#home'
  get 'pages/home', to: 'pages#home'
  resources :recipes
  get '/signup', to: 'chefs#new'
  resources :chefs, except: [:new]
end

app/models/chef.rb

class Chef < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :recipes
  validates :chefname, presence: true, length: { maximum: 30 }
  VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A([\w+\-].?)+@[a-z\d\-]+(\.[a-z]+)*\.[a-z]+\z/i
  validates :email, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }, uniqueness: {case_sensitive: false},
                    format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX}
  validates :password, presence: true, length: { minimum: 8 }
  has_secure_password
end

app/controllers/chefs_controller.rb

class ChefsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @chefs = Chef.all
  end
  def new
    @chef = Chef.new
  end
  def create
    @chef = Chef.new(chef_params)
    if @chef.save
      flash[:success] = "Welcome #{@chef.chefname} to MyRecipes App!"
      redirect_to chef_path(@chef)
    else
      render 'new'
    end
  end
  def show
    @chef = Chef.find(params[:id])
  end
  private
  def chef_params
    params.require(:chef).permit(:chefname, :email, 
                                 :password, :password_confirmation)
  end
end

I added in the index and the show method just to be sure there was a template available.
