Question

I ‘m building a partial that will be use by different views (games and promotions).
I’ve created a partial in view/application

<%= content_tag :article, class: ['article'] do %>
  <a href="#">
    <%= image_tag item.thumbnail %>
  </a>
  <h2><%= item.name %></h2>
  <p><%= item.description %></p>
  <p>
    <%= link_to 'Read more', "#" %>
  </p>
<% end %>

and I call it from the view games view (or promotions):

<% @games.each do |item| %>
  <section> 
      <%= render 'application/item_synopsis_builder', item: item %>
  </section>
<% end %>

It works fine to populate and render the partial, but i can’t suss out how to pass to the partial the view_path so that it is dynamically replace the temporary # with <%= the_right_path =>.

I tried to do:

<%= render partial: 'application/item_synopsis_builder', locals: {item: item, path: game_path } %>

But I just get an error message:

No route matches {:action=>"show", :controller=>"games"}

But if I render the partial with href=”#”, it renders fine.

I also tried my luck with href="<%= "#{item}_path" %>" but it just print out the ref of the object item.

Cheers

I don’t know is this is your error, but it seems to me that game_path expects a game object as argument, that might be your error.

EDIT:

<% @games.each do |item| %>
  <section> 
    <%= render partial: 'application/item_synopsis_builder', locals:{item: item, path: game_path(item) %>
  </section>
<% end %>
