I have a _form partial shared by new and edit actions. I render the partials like so:
<%= render :partial => 'form', :locals => { :f => f } %>
The partial looks (more or less) like this:
<%= f.error_messages %> ...
<table id="recipe_ingredients"> <tr> <th>ingredient</th> <th>in units</th> <th>quantity</th> <th>delete?</th> </tr> <% f.fields_for :recipe_ingredients do |ri_f| %> <%= render :partial => 'recipe_ingredient', :locals => { :ri_f => ri_f } %> <% end %> </table> ....
As you can see, I'm rendering the _recipe_ingredient partial from the _form partial, assigning the ri_f value to the :ri_f key. The partial looks like this:
<tr id="<%= "recipe_ingredient-#{ri_f.object.id }"%>"> <td> <%= ri_f.collection_select :ingredient_id, Ingredient.all, :id, :name %> </td> <td> <%= ri_f.select :unit, RecipeIngredient::COOKING_UNITS %> </td> .... </tr>
Problem: when I call one of the actions, I get the following error:
ActionView::TemplateError (undefined local variable or method `ri_f' for #<ActionView::Base:0xb681ecbc>) on line #1 of app/views/recipes/_recipe_ingredient.html.erb: 1: <tr id="<%= "recipe_ingredient-#{ri_f.object.id }"%>"> 2: <td> 3: <%= ri_f.collection_select :ingredient_id, Ingredient.all, :id, :name %> 4: </td>
app/views/recipes/_recipe_ingredient.html.erb:1 app/views/recipes/_form.html.erb:21 app/views/recipes/_form.html.erb:20 app/views/recipes/new.html.erb:4 app/views/recipes/new.html.erb:3 app/controllers/recipes_controller.rb:30:in `new'
I have googled around but no luck so far... The syntax and all seems ok, but it is refusing to work. If I move the code from the second partial into the _form partial, it all works.
Any idea what I should correct?
