Thanks for your feedback Fred. I should have added that I'm using very old Ruby (1.8.7) and Rails (2.2.2) versions.
Also, I tried to make my example as simple as possible. In reality, it is a little more complicated. The error is that... ...if I invoke an action on the UserController which is implemented in its base controller, even if the base controller has a before_filter excluding auth_check to run for that action it will still be run unless UserController explicitly excludes the auth_check from running for the inherited action. I've been debugging this and can see that the debugger first processes BaseController.before_filter followed by UserController.before_filter but I don't know how the filters are stored and chained. I think that is where the problem is. Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
