Hi Jon,
I was having trouble with partials a while ago and I think it might have
info on solving your problem
I’m guessing your referring to when you called your parital in a spec:
it “should show game name” do
render :partial =>“games/game”, :locals => {:game => @game}
response.should have_tag(‘h3’, /The Battle for Blaze/)
end
You need to provide a bit more information about your specs such as code
and
reported error.

Something like that should work. Otherwise, please post your code,
that’ll make it a lot easier to help out.
Kind regards,

that works for you?
I’m basically doing the same thing but the
render “/pages/_page_menu.html.erb”, :locals => { :pages => @foo }
produces error
undefined local variable or method `pages’ for #<ActionView::Base:
0x33a1f6c>
but it works when i add to the top of the partial:
<%# pages ||= @foo #kludge for rspec %>
oops, of course that last line wouldnt be commented out

Note the :partial.
Yes - that’s correct. The render method in view specs delegates to
rails’ render method, but allows you to skip the :template key in the
hash as a convenience:
render ‘/path/to/template’
If you don’t specify what ‘/path/to/template’ represents, it is passed
like this:
controller.render :template => ‘/path/to/template’
So if you add additional pairs to the hash, they just get passed to
AC::Base, which only deals with :locals, :object and :collection if
you specify that you’re using a partial.
Cheers,
David
