Render partial yields "dynamic constant assignment"

Rails
1

I’m getting a syntax error when rendering a partial. This is a simple
html partial with one instance variable inside it. Rendering as a
“template” instead of as a partial works just fine. The error occurs 3
lines after the last line of HTML code in the partial. There is no line
72! Here is the error:

SyntaxError in Building_blocks#preview
Showing building_blocks/_BB02.html.erb where line #72 raised:

compile error
C:/Ruby_Development/sbtool/app/views/building_blocks/_BB02.html.erb:-2:

^
C:/Ruby_Development/sbtool/app/views/building_blocks/_BB02.html.erb:-1:

BB02_counter = local_assigns[:BB02_counter]

Extracted source (around line #72):

Don’t start your partial names with a capital letter. rails creates a
local variable for the object corresponding to the partial and local
variables can’t start with a capital letter

Doh! I should know that. Standard ruby “convention”.

Thanks Fred, as always!
