Error Testing with Rspec about rabl-rails HOT 7 CLOSED

It seems the failure is in the extends 'shared/success' I'm not sure what is causing it though but here's the code in that partial and I'm not sure why it would cause that.

object false

node(:status) { :success }
node(:message) { @message }

from rabl-rails.

The ActionView error output is pretty much useless here. Can you reproduce this issue in a small app?

from rabl-rails.

This actually rings a bell - It's exactly what happened to me in #15.
Sorry, I just couldn't reproduce the exact error.

from rabl-rails.

@fnordfish @ccocchi I actually managed to reproduce the same error in a completely different app. Without even running tests. Here's what happened. I made two routes.
GET /users = > "users#index"

Here's the code for index:

  def index
    @users = User.all
    @message = "Testing index"
    render 'users/index'
  end

Here's the code for the views:
index.json.rabl

object false
node(:users) { partial('users/_show', object: @users)}
extends 'shared/success'

_show.json.rabl

attributes :id, :first_name, :last_name, :email

shared/success.json.rabl

object false
node(:status) { :success }
node(:message) { @message }

This action actually displays everything correctly with the JSON when called from the browser the output is like such:

{"users":[{"id":18,"first_name":"leo","last_name":"correa","email":"[email protected]"}],"status":"success","message":"Testing index"}

Where I can reproduce the issue is here, I have another route called GET /private/user => "users#show"

show action

def show
  @user = User.find(18)
  @message = "Hello there"
  render 'users/show'
end

show.json.rabl

object false
node(:user) { partial('users/show', object: @user) }
extends 'shared/success'

Error I get is the same:

TypeError in Users#show

Showing /Users/leo/some_app/app/views/users/show.json.rabl where line #2 raised:

can't convert nil into String
Extracted source (around line #2):

3: node(:user) { partial('users/show', object: @user) }

app/controllers/users_controller.rb:43:in `show'

This is without testing on Rspec or initially having rabl. Pretty much is a new app with rabl-rails from the beginning and checking the results on the browser.

Scratch that, It seems that what was causing the error was this

node(:user) { partial('users/show', object: @user) }

Once I switched it to

node(:user) { partial('users/_show', object: @user) }

it worked. I'm going to write some rspec tests for it and see if I can replicate the issue

from rabl-rails.

So I was not able to reproduce the issue with the small app. I'll go back to big app and try to debug and see what the issue was.

I've got the same: #15 (comment)
