I am trying to pass instance variables through multiple partials and having trouble. undefined local variable or method "product"
Application.html.erb"
<%= render 'shared/footer', :product => @product %>
_footer.html.erb
<%= render 'shared/my_form', :product => product %>
_my_form.html.erb
<%= form_for( product ) %>
UPDATE:
I'm starting to think it might be that the instance variable @product is just not being set/passed for the redirect. Could the following be causing the issue? Opened different issue here:
Instance variable not set with redirect
You have to use this syntax:
Application.html.erb"
<%= render partial: 'shared/footer', locals: {:product => @product} %>
_footer.html.erb
<%= render partial: 'shared/my_form', locals: {:product => product} %>
_my_form.html.erb
<%= form_for( product ) %>
Notice the use of partial: and locals:
If you want to pass local variables, you should use this syntax:
<%= render partial: 'shared/footer', locals: { product: @product } %>
<%= render partial: 'shared/my_form', locals: { product: product } %>
<%= form_for( product ) %>
