What is the difference in "Handling Contoller # as * / *" and "Handling BillsController # show as HTML"
All my rails 3.2.2. ActiveRecord methods are executed twice. I noticed that each execution is handled differently, see the examples I grabbed from the console below ...
Started GET "/api/bills/Jeremy%20Fox" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-03-20 23:16:43 -0400
Processing by BillsController#show as HTML
Parameters: {"username"=>"Jeremy Fox"}
BillsForUsers Load (2.4ms) SELECT "bills_for_users".* FROM "bills_for_users" WHERE "bills_for_users"."billusername" = 'Jeremy Fox'
Completed 200 OK in 47ms (Views: 11.2ms | ActiveRecord: 2.4ms)
Started GET "/api/bills/Jeremy%20Fox" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-03-20 23:16:44 -0400
Processing by BillsController#show as */*
Parameters: {"username"=>"Jeremy Fox"}
BillsForUsers Load (1.1ms) SELECT "bills_for_users".* FROM "bills_for_users" WHERE "bills_for_users"."billusername" = 'Jeremy Fox'
Completed 200 OK in 33ms (Views: 28.1ms | ActiveRecord: 1.1ms)
Can someone explain to me why all my ActiveRecord methods are being executed twice and / or what's the difference between Processing by BillsController#show as HTML
and Processing by BillsController#show as */*
?
Thank.

It turns out that the problem was actually the JSONView Chrome extension. Since it's in the options menu ...
Use a secure method to parse the HTTP response (*)
(*): The secure method forces the browser to send an additional HTTP request to receive the raw HTTP content.
After spending days trying to figure out what I was doing wrong in my code, it was actually just chrome!
Hope no one comes across this stupid problem.

I was struggling with this same problem. The HTML Validator Chrome extension is also the culprit (none of the small print).
In my case, I am calling a search query with ModestModel support, so the first hit (and rendering) succeeded, then phantom 500, since my non-DB search model was out of scope and nil the second query.
Thanks Jeremy!
