Missing Template errors with rjs

#4197

I have following setup and i am getting missing template errors
class NotesController < ApplicationController

def new

  @note = Note.new
respond_to do |format|
   format.html # new.html.erb
   format.xml  { render :xml => @note }
   format.js
 end

end

new.js.erb
$("#add-notes").after(<%= escape_javascript(render 'form') %>);

Error on the logs
ActionView::Template::Error (Missing partial notes/form with {:formats=>[:js], :locale=>[:en], :handlers=>[:builder, :rjs, :rhtml, :rxml, :erb, :haml]}

Even though there exist this file notes/_form.html.haml i am getting missing template errors when i try to render anything in the rjs file.

    i have to specify the file to render there which works like
    $("#add-notes").after(<%= escape_javascript(render 'form.html.haml') %>);

    i tried to do this in create.js if i am passing an instance it doesnt work, still get template error
    $("#notes").after(<%= escape_javascript(render @note) %>);

    if i specify file there then it works in the create.js too, but i need to pass instance as local variable there
    $("#notes").after(<%= escape_javascript(render 'note.html.haml') %>);

    Is this the new behavior in rails 3 that we would require to specify file names, i hope i have not missed that

    Now the partials are rendering fine but if i want to render the new template then again its gives missing tempate errors

    $("#notes").after(<%= escape_javascript(render 'new') %>);

    This should render the new template but it gives missing tempate errors

    ActionView::Template::Error (Missing partial notes/new with {:formats=>[:js, :html], :handlers=>[:rxml, :builder, :rjs, :erb, :haml, :rhtml], :locale=>[:en]}

    the render method there just expects to render a partial

    This is odd, it should find the notes/new template. Can you please try to add a failing test case?

    Oh, I get it. render("new") is invalid in your view. You should do render(:template => "notes/new").

    Can you try to reproduce this error in Rials test suite or in another application? So you can send me and I can investigate further?

    And promptly brought back 2 days later
    https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/f28d856cece877d1b2f306f54aeb12c...

    Current problem:
    During AJAX, you cannot render an HTML partial from within a JS partial:

    _new_object.js.erb

    <%= render(@object)) %>

    Fails, will only look for JS.erb not HTML.erb
