Rails

i render view from outside of controllers in my a module in lib
folder, here is my render method:

  def render(options, assigns = {})
    view = ActionView::Base.new

(ActionController::Base.view_paths,assigns)
view.render options
end

and i call it like this:
render(:file=>"#{template_path}.html.erb",:locals => locals)

every things fine in rendered page, i can use locals but when i use
FORM_FOR in rendered view, i get this error message:

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.url_for

please help me!

Not a fan of any rendering showing up in your models but in your
controller code, did you assign the model of interest to your locals?
i.e. does the locals() in :locals => locals bring up your model of
interest… as that is what you are passing to the view.
