rails 3 and PDFkit

Question

I\'m trying to follow this tutorial.

When I\'m adding .pdf to my url it does nothing. My controller has:

respond_to :html, :pdf.
         


        

Answer 1

I found a better way to access my .pdf urls even in developpement mode.

# Enable threaded mode
config.threadsafe!

# Code is not reloaded between requests
#config.cache_classes = true

Config.cache_classes is a comment, cause i had some problems when it wasn't. This way pdfkit works wonder even with rails 3.1. But, you don't reload code between requests.

That's not really a problem, cause you first work on your html, and you switch configuration, in order to check the pdf result. This way you don't have to bother about your production database.
