No template error when there is a template

[clem_c_rock]

Hello,
I have a method that's being called from a flash sendAndLoad function and, occasionally, our production errors show the rails method will
trigger a no template error.

Here's the rails method:

  def get_video_details   
    begin
      render :template=>'/rss/get_details'
    rescue Exception => e
      logger.debug("**(get_details) e-->>#{e}")
    end
  end

And here's the template for that method:

cache({:controller => "widget", :action => "get_details", :id => params[:id]}, {:expires => 15.minutes}) do
    ret=''
  
    @song = Song.find(params[:id])
    if @song && @song.video_url
        response = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(@song.video_url))
        case response
          when Net::HTTPRedirection then 
            ret = response['location']
        else
            logger.error("Either invalid use of get_video_details or error in video_url for song #{@song.id}:#{@song.video_url}")
        end
    end
-%>  
<%=ret-%>
<% end -%>

Any ideas how I could be getting this error:

A ActionController::MissingTemplate occurred in widget#get_video_details:

Missing template /u/apps/website/production/current/public/../config/../app/views/widget/get_details.rhtml
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:1003:in `assert_existence_of_template_file'

Thanks,

Looks like it's trying to render the default view, that would be in widget/get_details, when an exception happens. If you add a render call in the rescue block this behavior should disappear.
