new smart render misses arguments

ActionView::Base#render != ActionController::Base#render. The new, "smart" rendering isn't in AV::Base#render. This confused me too.

You need to call render like this:

<%= render 'open_hours', :foo => 'bar' %>

@Jeffrey: right, but.. both my snippets Does render the correct partial. The confusing part is that the :locals param Only works when I explicity use :partial.

@thedarkone: Thanks for the shortcut to :locals, but the same "problem" shows itself in others forms too, this is another example:

<%= render :partial => "kids/kid_presentation", :collection => @kids, :as => :kid %> ## Renders the correct partial, defining the variable "kid" for the items in the collection in the view.

<%= render "kids/kid_presentation", :collection => @kids, :as => :kid %> ## Renders the correct partial, but the variable "kid" is undefined in the view.

Shouldn't both work since they both understand that it's a partial?

When rendering using a string as the first arg, the second arg is assumed to be the locals hash. So, what you're really getting here is:

<%= render "kids/kid_presentation", :locals => { :collection => @kids, :as => :kid } %>

Huh? Not all of the comment got posted. It seems that the HTML tags caused some trouble.

Hire is the continuation of the above comment:

And I always get:

NoMethodError in Organization_units#index

Showing /app/views/organization_units/_organization_unit.html.erb where line [#2](/projects/8994/tickets/2 "Ticket #2") raised:

undefined method `name' for nil: NilClass

Extracted source (around line [#2](/projects/8994/tickets/2 "Ticket #2")):

3:   < td><%= @organization_unit.email %></ td>

Trace of template inclusion: app/views/organization_units/index.html.erb 

Only this code works:

<% @organization_units.each do |organization_unit| %>
  <% @organization_unit = organization_unit%>
  <%= render "row" %>
<% end %>

Any clue?

Did you try:

<%= render 'organization_unit', :organization_unit => @organization_unit %>

and

<% @organization_units.each do |organization_unit| %>
  <%= render "row", :organization_unit => organization_unit %>
<% end %>

?

Today a checked out Rails 3 RC and plyed with my code, this is working:

<%= render @organization_units %>

I tested this code on Rails 3.0.0.beta4 and 3.0.0.beta3 it's working there to... so actually it was my error [embarrassed]. I used @organization_unit instead of organization_unit in the partial (which was the Rails Way in Rails < 3).

Sorry for bothering you and IHID - thanks for the suggestion.

This is still a problem. My version:

render 'foo', :object => bar

defined a local named foo with the value of bar in Rails 2.3.11. It does not in Rails 3.0.5. A workaround is

render 'foo', :foo => bar

but this is ever so slightly duplicative. Is this a regression (which is my guess) or an intentional change? If a regression it would be nice to fix it sooner rather than later and remove one bump in the road from Rails 2 to Rails 3.

P.S. On futher consideration it's possible that the warning box in the section of http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html documenting :object says that the behavior I was using is intentionally not in Rails 3. (I'm uncertain whether "default local variable" refers to the one set by :object.) Confirmation of that welcome.
