rails redirect_to format html sends response in js

Question

I made a before_filter in some of my controller to redirect keyword searches to the parent controller

It\'s very simple:

  before_filter :redirect_se         


        

Answer 1

I think the problem is in the view which is doing the request

you are sending a JS request (ajax), so you should return a js.erb file and render new HTML using js

Answer 2

Try with

def redirect_search
     respond_to do |format|
            format.html {redirect_to buildings_path} if params[:q].present?
            format.js {render :js => "window.location.href='"+buildings_path+"'"} if params[:q].present?
     end
end

Answer 3

Thanks to Bachan's answer, I could solve my issue this way:

  def redirect_search
    render :js => "window.location.href='"+buildings_path+"'" if params[:q].present?
  end

Thanks!
