I recently deployed a new version of my application. Unfortunately, I  
accidentally placed a folder containing two partials in the wrong  
repository (I had copied them from another application), so when I  
deployed, they were not included. Once I discovered this, I added this  
folder and the two partials to the repository, then redeployed.

Now, however, the application continues to tell me that the view files  
are missing:

ActionView::TemplateError (Missing template dues/\_unpaid.erb in view  
path app/views:vendor/plugins/railmail/app/views) on line #12 of app/  
views/parents/show.html.erb:

Line 12 looks like this:  
\<%= render :partial =\> ‘dues/unpaid’ if !  
@parent.current\_pt\_org\_member? %\>

I have verified that the dues folder contain \_unpaid.html.erb is in  
the apps/views folder.

It appears that it is looking for a .erb file instead of a .html.erb.

I deployed with capistrano and am using Passenger. I verified that the  
correct release was being pointed to by /current and that  
Passenger had been restarted (I manually touched restart.txt a couple  
of times just to be sure).

If you have any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate the advice.

Thanks,  
Tom

Did you mean that app/views/dues/\_unpaid.html.erb exists? Otherwise  
you’ve got it in the wrong spot…
