Hey all,

I get error like this:

ActionView::TemplateError
(`@content_for_details_view_builder__-626960428' is not allowed as an
instance variable name) in app/views/shared/_details_view.haml:

I understand that when you use form_for, you cannot have an empty
instance variable passed into the block. However, from the above
backtrace, I can't tell where the root of problem is.

Thanks for response.

That - sign in the ivar name is bad. I'd look at your view at your builders_helper module first.
