Rails : render and exit immediately

Question

Using the omniauth gem, I am forced to define a single route callback for succesful logins, regardless of the provider :

def auth_callback 

        auth_data = request.env['omniauth.auth']

        if auth_data.has_key('something')
            process_one(auth_data)
        else
            process_two(auth_data)
        end

        # No view is available here

end


def process_one
    # do something then render view for process_one
    return
end

def process_two
    # do something then render view for process_two
    return
end

How can I prevent the controller from returning to the auth_callback method and try to display the corresponding view (which does not exist) ? Treatment should be considered as complete once the process_one or process_two methods have returned.

Answer 1

Why not specifically call render in those methods?

def process_one
 # do something then render view for process_one
 render :process_one and return
end

Rails should detect that you've already run it and not try to render again.
