Why does "redirect_to @post" not work for me in this example.

The post gets created (when I refresh the page I see the new comment), but the redirect_to @post doesn;'t seem to do anything. In my browser, the page stays the same with the "Add Comment" button grey-ed out.

In the console output, there is a warning that the 'create' template was not found. (But we are simply POSTing to 'create', and should be redirecting back to the post.

Any ideas?

You want to redirect to a show path and give @post as the specific post as an argument some_path(@instance)
