Convert html.slim views to html.erb - Rails, Slim,

Question

Trying to convert *.html.slim views to *.html.erb. I've looked at these two questions:

• How can I convert html.slim to html.erb? - getting uninitialized constant when called from the console

• How can I convert html.slim files to html or html.erb? - parser hits a NoMethodError: undefined method image_tag for nil:NilClass when it comes across the first = image_tag. I am not using any variables inside my call, the image tag points to and svg

I think the latter solution would work best, if the good people of Stack Overflow can help me figure out the image_tag issue.

My code (as requested):

page data-id="foo-page"
  .container
    = image_tag 'bar.svg'

Answer 1

I was using gitbash on windows,

and this worked for me,

slimrb -e foo.html.slim foo.html.erb

Answer 2

As expected, the latter solution worked. The trick is to pass -e flag, letting the interpreter know that you're converting to erb. So the full command is:

 slimrb -e `foo.html.slim` > foo.html.erb

EDIT:

to make sure that the interperter omits unnecessary calls to Temple::Utils.escape_html((...)) before variables, you can pass the --rails flag like so:

slimrb --rails -e `foo.html.slim` > foo.html.erb
