1.2RC1: Component Views Broken?

Rails
1

I know that use of components as a general purpose solution is
discouraged. We have a specific piece of functionality that is
perfect for them and we have been using them in that setup for some
time with great success.

Testing on 1.2RC1, they are all broken (across several apps). The
components no longer seem able to locate their view files.

We get this message:

“Missing template /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/item_list/item_list/
item_list.rhtml”

Each time they are called. The component view is in place (it hasn’t
moved) and this works fine when I revert to 1.1.6.

We do use the ‘uses_component_template_root’ method call in the
controller for each component but even if I test removing that, I
still have the same problem.

Has anyone else seen this problem? It seems as if components are
broken entirely.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Best,
Hunter

I can confirm that this happens with a fresh, new application out of
the box.

It seems as if component support is broken in this RC.

If I am wrong, please let me know where I went off the rails (sorry,
couldn’t resist).

Great. Could you get all that information gathered and post it in a
ticket? We’ll make sure to deal with it before 1.2 final, then.
