Ruby on Rails

Hi Everyone,

I am having a problem getting Rails to render a page when it is called from javascript/ajax.  I posted a detailed question on StackOverflow but no one has answered yet. (Rails 5 will not render POST made from javascript)

Basically,  I am doing a very simple ajax POST (also tried GET with same results), the equivalent of:  localhost:3000/lockout/2016-03-16.

The ajax request gets past routes.rb, and calls the appropriate method in the controller.  The controller processes it correctly (database is updated, debug print statements show up in log, etc.) but it does NOT render.

When I submit the same request manually from the browser (as a GET) it again is processed correctly, but then it DOES render.

In all cases the log shows this (with times slightly different):

Started POST "/lockout/2016-03-16" for 127.0.0.1 at 2016-03-06 13:05:22 -0500
Processing by LockoutsController#toggle as HTML
*
*
*
Rendered lockouts/toggle.html.erb within layouts/application (0.6ms)
Completed 200 OK in 244ms (Views: 203.0ms | ActiveRecord: 11.4ms)

In fact, the log shows identical entries from the original Started GET/POST line for all attempts at invoking the method, but only when the URL is entered manually will the view render.

BTW, the ajax is called from fullcalendar's dayClick event if that helps.  fullcalendar's eventClick events DO render.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Don Z
