Googlebot receiving missing template error for an existing template

Question

In the last couple of days, we have started to receive a missing template error when the google bot attempts to access our main home page (welcome/index). I have been staring at

Answer 1

The solution to the problem is to specify the format in your action.

Up until now, I had simply had the following in my index action

def index

end

Once I inserted a respond_to block

def index
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
  end
end

I stopped getting the missing template errors.
