@liondancer 👀️ yeah,,, we must put it here
@danielricecodes already written in official Rails Guides
https://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html#the-status-option
OMGGG thanks
Documentation for generic status types are so hard to find.
Just leaving this here for future reference:
In rspec: https://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/matchers/have-http-status-matcher
generic status type (:success, :missing, :redirect, or :error)
is it possible to include a custom error message statusText with the response?
@alexsmartens : It looks like no, it's not. Or at least it's not easy.
A few days ago I was trying to achieve exactly that. I had a nice idea, that you could pass a string for example in render plain: "BOO", status: '543 Server out of sugar'
as the status, and then it would return exactly that to the end user.
(I wanted the status text to be dynamic, so that each render might set it differently - for example providing translated statuses, in line with what all the relevant RFCs say. Merely adding another entry to the Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES was not good enough for me. But even that would not work.)
With these changes to the status_code
method in lib/rack/utils.rb
in the rack gem:
--- lib/rack/utils.rb-old
+++ lib/rack/utils.rb
@@ -578,9 +578,13 @@
[message.downcase.gsub(/\s|-|'/, '_').to_sym, code]
}.flatten]
+ STATUS_STRING_REGEXP = /\A([1-5][0-9][0-9]) (.+)\z/
+
def status_code(status)
if status.is_a?(Symbol)
SYMBOL_TO_STATUS_CODE.fetch(status) { raise ArgumentError, "Unrecognized status code #{status.inspect}" }
+ elsif status.is_a?(String) && status =~ STATUS_STRING_REGEXP
+ status
else
status.to_i
end
plus some changes to action_dispatch/http/response.rb
(from the ActionPack gem) and rack/response.rb
(from the Rack gem) so that they would not call to_i
on the status values in various stages, and so that they would read the "message" from that string-type status, some form of MVP was working. Maybe I needed also some more tiny changes, but I do not remember it now.
But then I got into Puma, where the status was again converted to integer, and the status text was being taken again from a hardcoded list of texts (same form as in rack/utils, but it's a separate code). At that point I gave up.
The coding itself looks trivial. The real problem lies in testing for backwards compatibility, and - this is the most terrifying part! - talking to various groups of people to accept these changes into their projects. 😱
If you feel brave enough, you may try to work on that.

I support your remark!
As of Rails 4.2 (released in December 2014), the symbol for HTTP 413 is no longer :request_entity_too_large
. It is now :payload_too_large
.
There were a few other changes, too. Source: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/4_2_release_notes.html#changed-status-option-symbols-for-render
(I posted about this here: https://stackoverflow.com/q/78028946/12484)
Fixed :payload_too_large
What about adding :too_many_requests
(429) ?
