You may have correctly used the word redirection, and are now misusing “routing”. 🙂 Routing is basically what figures out which controller action to call for a particular URL; redirection is the act of sending the visitor to a new URL after completing some process.

Redirecting to `index` is normal after `add`, but you haven’t shown any code that includes a `redirect` call. And this may explain your other “bug”: if you’re calling `debug` and then `redirect`, then the output from the `debug` call will be lost forever. Debug output is not like `flash` text, which persists in the session between page loads.
