Question

I have such problem : I want to render html file, but I’m failing to set path to my file.

I need to say, that I’m runnung Rails on Windows.

In my view I have code :

<%= render :file => '1509/1509/app/views/static_pages/index.html', :layout => false %>

but this gives me error:

undefined method `virtual_path' for false:FalseClass

My file lies here:

     C:\1509\1509\app\views\static_pages

Also tried:

 <%= render :file => '/views/static_pages/index.html', :layout => false %>

But this gives me:

  Missing template /views/static_pages/index with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :coffee]}. Searched in:
  * "c:/1509/1509/app/views"
  * "C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/devise-2.1.0/app/views"
  * "c:/1509/1509"
  * "c:/"

What I’m doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Absolute path would be:

<%= render :file => 'c:/1509/1509/app/views/static_pages/index.html' %>

Relative path:

<%= render :file => 'static_pages/index.html' %>
