Yesterday’s refactoring of TimelogController#edit took care of it’s first action.  Now I need to use extract method again to pull out the “save new TimeEntry” action (#create).
Before
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | class TimelogController [:new, :edit, :destroy] def edit (render_403; return) if @time_entry && !@time_entry.editable_by?(User.current) @time_entry ||= TimeEntry.new(:project => @project, :issue => @issue, :user => User.current, :spent_on => User.current.today) @time_entry.attributes = params[:time_entry] call_hook(:controller_timelog_edit_before_save, { :params => params, :time_entry => @time_entry }) if request.post? and @time_entry.save flash[:notice] = l(:notice_successful_update) redirect_back_or_default :action => 'index', :project_id => @time_entry.project return end end end | 
After
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 | class TimelogController [:new, :create, :edit, :destroy] verify :method => :post, :only => :create, :render => {:nothing => true, :status => :method_not_allowed } def create @time_entry ||= TimeEntry.new(:project => @project, :issue => @issue, :user => User.current, :spent_on => User.current.today) @time_entry.attributes = params[:time_entry] call_hook(:controller_timelog_edit_before_save, { :params => params, :time_entry => @time_entry }) if @time_entry.save flash[:notice] = l(:notice_successful_update) redirect_back_or_default :action => 'index', :project_id => @time_entry.project else render :action => 'edit' end end def edit (render_403; return) if @time_entry && !@time_entry.editable_by?(User.current) @time_entry ||= TimeEntry.new(:project => @project, :issue => @issue, :user => User.current, :spent_on => User.current.today) @time_entry.attributes = params[:time_entry] call_hook(:controller_timelog_edit_before_save, { :params => params, :time_entry => @time_entry }) if request.post? and @time_entry.save flash[:notice] = l(:notice_successful_update) redirect_back_or_default :action => 'index', :project_id => @time_entry.project return end end end | 
Just like last time, this refactoring didn’t actually make any impact on the #edit method at all.  #edit still needs all of the code to handle it’s last two actions (show a form for existing TimeEntries and update existing TimeEntries).  At least there is only one more refactoring before #edit is completely split up.  Then I can finally start removing code.
