So, I have a Front Controller Plugin that is running post dispatch that
needs to add some debug data to the front of the response body. It only
needs to perform this action if the action was rendered. So in the
action we're setting setNoRender for the action and then in the front
controller plugin, we check the getNoRender() method to see if it's true
or false.
The problem is that after the action is rendered, setNoRender() is
called in the renderScript method of
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer to prevent double rendering.
So, getNoRender() will always return true regardless of whether or not
it was set in the action. If we use setNeverRender() instead, this all
works as expected, but it seems like a hack to say, "you have to just
use setNeverRender because setNoRender/getNoRender doesn't act as one
would expect it to."
Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding how setNoRender() and
getNoRender() should work, but I'd really like some insight on this
question. I haven't been able to find a good way to make this happen as
it should without making sure I use setNeverRender everywhere instead of
setNoRender.
If there's a better way to accomplish the goals of my Front Controller
Plugin, I'd definitely be up suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
