Hi All I''m having some problems running my view specs when using simply_helpful. I have it semi-working via the following: module SimplyHelpfulHelper def self.included(base) base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordIdentificationHelper base.send :include, SimplyHelpful::RecordTagHelper end end context "The index template" do setup do @shift =

Hello all I prefer to use many partials. It makes my code more DRY Also I use rspec, and when I have to test partial with sub partials I have a problem. if I stub render, then my partial will not be rendered. If i do not stub render it tries to render sub partial (and i don''t need this) Not very long googling did not bring the answer, so I made very dirty and IMHO dangerous function

There is a warning on the web site about expect_render and stub_render: "WARNING: expect_render and stub_render, while very useful, act differently from standard Message Expectations (a.k.a. mock expectations), which would never pass calls through to the real object. This can be very confusing when there are failures if you''re not aware of this fact, because some calls will be

Hi, I am having the following issue with a partial. During initial page load, I am doing a "render_partial_collect ''foo'', @foos", and all goes well. Each foo partial makes use of a variable inside called ''foo'' (and can get foo.id etc). After all the partials are loaded, I need to :update a div corresponding to one of the partials (ie re-load the

I''m not sure what happened, or what change has caused this to happen, but render :partial (or any render for that matter, doesn''t seem to let me set local variables via the local_assigns argument hash. for example <%= render :partial ''edit'', :username => @user.username %> used to allow that username was a local variable in my _edit.rhtml partial

In my application I have a controller/view that displays the contents of an audit log file def audit_log render :layout => ''table'', :file => AUDIT_LOG end The audit log is updated frequently but the render call does not re- read the file so it gets stale. Is there a way to tell render to check the file timestamp and reload as needed?

I am trying to teach my models how to render themselves, i.e. <%= my_model_object.render() %> Let me explain my reasoning and proposed method before this gets shot down as anti-MVC. Let''s say I am writing a contact-management application. I have a class Contact. I will need to display this class all over the application. My first choice is to use a partial. Now I can

Suppose some environment variable (say MY_R_INC) has a number of paths. I want to source some file relative to some path in $MY_R_INC (just as #include in C++ does, which looks for header file in a number of directories). I RSiteSearch'ed, but I don't find any function that satisfies my need. Could somebody let me know if I overlooked something?

I have some embedded tables that form different sections of a view. I find that I use the same look for certain ones which means I have to duplicate the same exact table for each section that''s similar. Is there a way to do.. hmm.. well.. kind of like what a layout does using @content_for_layout, but for a partial. Does that make any sense whatsoever? :) OK so here''s some

For the longest time PartialRenderer#partial_path has prefixed the prefix of the current controller when it is nested in a module. This hasn''t been a problem (because nesting controllers wasn''t that common) but with 3.1 striving for better engine support, this problem is now larger because all of your controllers for an engine will be nested and it makes doing <%= render

Hello, I am testing out a partial that calls another, general purpose partial as part of its processing. Is there a class I can mock in Rails views to accomplish what I need? That is, could I do something like the following: SomeClass.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "foo", :locals => { :bars => bars }) I tried breakpointing the view, and it looks like I am greeted

Hello, i simplified have a news model, a news category model and a news controller. my _news.rhtml partial renders a single news entry. in my controller there are the actions show and show_category. if the "show" action is called, a single news item is rendered through my partial with no errors. if the "show_category" action is called, i get a NoMethodError while displaying

I know I must be doing something dumb, but I can''t seem to send a local variable to my partial. The below code leads to the following error: NameError in Residential_listings#new undefined local variable or method `foo'' for #<ActionView::Base: 0x3fb53f8> I am trying to call the variable ''foo'' in a partial called _attachment.html.erb, which is nested in

Hi everyone, I am writing a helper function that takes a parameter and block and wraps some HTML around it. e.g. def box_with_caption(caption, &block) data = capture(&block) buffer = render_partial("helpers/box_caption", :caption => caption) buffer << render_partial("helpers/box_data", :data => data) buffer end however, when I attempt the following,

I love form_for, but I really hate <% form_for :person, @person, :url => {...} do |f| %> ... <%= render :partial => ''form'', :locals => {''f'' => f} ... <% end %> I''ve been thinking of instead allowing <% form_for :person, @person, :url => {...} do |f| %> ... <%= f.partial ''form''

I need to add various header and footer dressings around groups of form fields for GUI goodness, and am wondering if there''s already something out there that will suit my needs. These headers/footers have special properties for display(title, help links, etc...). I want to be able to easily take advantage of the existing HTML helper methods provided for controllers, in a mini-layout type
