I am having trouble getting my Hobo controllers to respond to requests in json format.
In a non-Hobo rails application, I am accustomed to enabling json responses with this simple statement at the top of a controller class definition: class WidgetsController < ApplicationController respond_to :html, :json ... Then, I can retrieve any valid route with '.json' appended to the URL to see my data in JSON format rather than HTML. e.g.: http://localhost:3000/widgets.json http://localhost:3000/widgets/3.json When I do that with a Hobo application, my output is still in HTML (although the header tells the browser that the content type is JSON so the browser doesn't process the HTML, it just shows me the source). One workaround I've found is to define response methods like this: class WidgetsController < ApplicationController ... def show_response respond_to do |format| format.html do super end format.json do render json: self.this end end (I figured this out from revere-engineering the hobo source code) Until I find a better solution, I am deploying a workaround module that I've written to wrap all of the show_* methods via class_eval meta programming. I just include it in any controller which I want to respond to JSON. i.e.: class WidgetsController < ApplicationController respond_to :html, :json include HoboWorkarounds::RespondToJson ... It's kinda kludgey but it gets the job done. Anybody got any suggestions for a more kosher solution?
