Question

Rails 2.2.2 - Missing template error when trying to render a partial in a subdirectory

Answer 1

+2 A:

If what you typed is correct, your partial is misnamed. It should be "_header.html.erb" and not "_header.erb.html". This is probably why Rails is not finding it.

Thanks for pointing it out. It was a typo in the question. The filename is correct.

Answer 2

A:

It has been quite a while since I have touched Rails 2.2, but I believe that you are looking for the following:

<%= render :template => 'shared/header' %>

Edit: To whoever else is down down voting this, try reading the 2.2.2 docs and actually trying it first. This was a big gotcha back then.

According to the docs :template was required on Rails 2.2.2. Why they only mention it in a dark corner of the document is beyond me. I'm going to try this tonight at home. Also, I mistakingly downvoted your answer and just noticed now that the vote is locked. Please edit your answer so I can undo the downvote.

@enriquein That's cool. Give it a shot, and if it doesn't solve your problem then the next step would be to post some logs.

Right! Logs! Why didn't I think of that before? I was pretty much just reading Mongrel's output, but I keep forgetting the logs.
