Anyone know a way to create html comments with the names of the views?

I work with a lot of designers.  The question I get all the time is:
Where is the template that displays xyz?  I was thinking it would be
nice if rails would print the name of each template it loads as an
html comment like so:

<!-- LAYOUT: layouts/application.html.erb -->
<html><head>etc..</head>
<body>
<!-- TEMPLATE: blog/index.html.erb -->
<!-- TEMPLATE: blog/_side_bar.html.erb -->
</body>
</html>

Not having to answer these questions all day would really make my day.
I poked around the rails code for a couple hours and don''t see an
obvious way.  Does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Thanks!

worked with designers that''s definitely a question that has come up
often!

Re: Anyone know a way to create html comments with the names of the views?

For now, I just slapped this in a file in lib and include it in
environment.rb:

module ActionView
  class Template
    def render_template(view, local_assigns = {})
      "<!-- TEMPLATE: #{self.template_path} -->\n" +
render(view,
local_assigns)
    rescue Exception => e
      raise e unless filename
      if TemplateError === e
        e.sub_template_of(self)
        raise e
      else
        raise TemplateError.new(self, view.assigns, e)
      end
    end
  end
end


Works in Rails 2.3 anyway.  I''m sure there is a cleaner way, and it
should probably be made into an environment specific config option.
But I''m in a hurry right now.

Thanks for the pointer.

Use "<!-- TEMPLATE: #{self.load_path}/#{self.template_path}
-->\n"
instead to get the full path from RAILS_ROOT.  Useful if you''re
pulling in views from plugins/engines.

Re: Anyone know a way to create html comments with the names of the views?

I''m using it and it''s cool, but it should probably check if
any layout
statement is present on the controller: if layout is nil then I
probably don''t need/want any comment in the template :)

(found this with the :tex view of instiki clone)

thanks 4 the plugin!

More precisely if what it''s rendering isn''t html it probably
shouldn''t
be putting html comments in!
