I am using RoR 2.3, and have installed the builder gem
I have a line in a view as follows:
str_xml = render "fusioncharts/array_example/ss_array_data.builder", {:arr_data => @arr_data}
Which does not set str_xml to anything.
I can confirm that in my controller I have @arr_data set up and populated properly. (And in my controller, I have require 'builder' at the top)
In my views folder, I have a folder set up under it as "fusioncharts/ array_example/" and the file ss_array_data.builder. (However, this may be why str_xml is not being set -- when I go to the URL which would invoke this view, I get "Missing template _ss_array_data.builder in view path..." It will only render the page if I put the underscore before the filename ss_array_data.builder, making it a partial).
What am I not understanding about builders that I cannot convert my array @arr_data to str_xml ?
Thanks so much, RVince
