Hi,

I am working with the following piece;

def index
  @user = User.find(params[:id]) 
  rescue
    flash[:notice] = "ERROR"
    redirect_to(:action => 'index')
  else 
    flash[:notice] = "OK"
    redirect_to(:action => 'index')
end

Now I either case whether I have a correct ID or not, I am always getting "OK" in my view, what am I doing wrong?

I need that when I have no ID in the DB to show "ERROR". I have also tried to use rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound but same happens.

All help is appreciated.
