Rails is Looking for a Partial in the Wrong Directory

Question

I have a polymorphic Review model. The namespaced model User::Library::Publication is reviewable. The reviews are created properly, but when I try to display them through a partial, Rails looks up the wrong directory.

In my view:

<%= render @review %>

I get this error:

Missing partial user/library/reviews/review with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:js, :html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder]}

Rails is apparently looking for the review partial within the namespace's directory views/user/library instead of the /views/reviews. Any idea why this is happening?

Answer 1

If you want to remove namespacing from the partial template path, you can set the prefix_partial_path_with_controller_namespace variable in your config/application.rb:

# config/application.rb
config.action_view.prefix_partial_path_with_controller_namespace = false

This will load partial paths as you define them (without the namespace).
