Rails - Nov 2007 - Can someone please help me? I think i'm going crazy! [bug]

hello all..

i''m experiencing what seems to be a bug in rails while trying to pass a
local variable to a partial.  i''m referencing code from :

http://www.pointstorm.com/~gavin/partials-doc/classes/ActionView/Partials.html


here''s my code

View:

-----------

<%= render_partial ''report_form'', nil,
''r'' => ''1'' %>

-----------

i''ve tried the ''1'' with and without quotes....


Partial:

-----------

<label>Criteria <%= r %></label>


<%= text_field "report", "phrase#{r}", :size => 20
%>

<%= link_to "Add Criteria", :action =>
"report_builder", :id => r.to_i+1
%>


-----------

and here''s the error i''m getting:


----------



compile error
script/../config/../app/views/assets/_report_form.rhtml:-1: syntax
error, unexpected ''='', expecting kEND
 = local_assigns[:]
  ^
script/../config/../app/views/assets/_report_form.rhtml:-1: syntax
error, unexpected '']'', expecting tSTRING_CONTENT or
tSTRING_DBEG or
tSTRING_DVAR or tSTRING_END

Extracted source (around line #10):

7:
8:   <%= link_to "Add Criteria", :action =>
"report_builder", :id =>
r.to_i+1 %>


---------


this isn''t making any sense to me.  as you can see the partial is only
8
lines... not 10.  i''m used to getting errors on lines that
aren''t there
when i forget to put and ''end'' tag somewhere..  but
that''s not the
problem here. can anyone tell me what i''m doing wrong.  maybe
i''m just
too tired. :-)

thanks for the suggestion..  it didn''t work. do you think it might be a
bug?  it seems that nothing works.  even if my partial is completely 
empty, it still throws an error.  :-(

render_partial is deprecated.
does render :partial => ''report_form'', :locals =>
{''r'' => ''1}
work any better ?

Can you paste in the error you are getting when trying my suggestion? I 
use this in many places with no issues.

ok i fixed it but you''ll never guess how...  my partial was named 
_report_form.rhtml..  when i changed it to _reportform.rhtml..  now it 
works!  should this be reported somewhere?  i''ve never heard that you 
can have underscores in the partial name.  let me know what you guys 
think.

That appears to be the error from the browser. What is in your logs? I 
suspect there is more info waiting in development.log that will help you 
on this.

No, there is something else going on here. I use underscores in many 
partial names.

I''ve used partials like _list_header.rhtml in the past, so it seems a 
bit odd to see what you say.  I haven''t followed your thread so far but
how are you calling it from your view code?

Cheers
Mohit.

View :

-------------

<%= render :partial => ''reportform'', :locals => { :r
=> 1} %>

i have also used underscores in my partials. maybe it''s because of the 
local variable assignment?  i''m mostly dumbfounded by this.  thanks 
again for your time. :-)  jon

Jon, I think that should be:

<%= render :partial => ''report_form'', :locals => { :r
=> 1} %>

(note the underscore after report)

Rails won''t insert too many extra underscores for you ;-)

Cheers,
Mohit.

i changed the partial name to ''reportform.rhtml'',
that''s how i got it to
work :-)  we were just trying to find out why it didn''t work before, 
when i did have the underscore in there.  man this is getting confusing.

Like I said, I missed the earlier part of the thread but this is what 
the rules are (which I think you know):

:partial => ''report_form'' ---> partial called
_report_form.rhtml

:partial => ''reportform'' ---> partial called
_reportform.rhtml

I guess somewhere in the debugging you did, an extra underscore got added or one
got removed, and the 2 were not consistent any longer :)

Cheers,
Mohit.

Actually, can I see the reportform.rhtml view? I think that is where the 
error is coming from. Did you look at development.log to get the full 
error and stack trace? If you paste that in, it would be a huge help.
