Partial syntax is fussy

[MSCAU]

Can you tell me why this works:

render "comments/comment_hide_delete.json.jb"

but this doesn't

render "comments/comment_hide_delete"

and neither does this?

render partial: "comments/comment_hide_delete.json.jb"

I wasn't able to recreate your issue in an example application. Each of these different render statements worked fine in my app:

render "comment"
render "comment.json.jb"
render "comments/comment"
render "comments/comment.json.jb"
render partial: "comment"
render partial: "comment.json.jb"
render partial: "comments/comment"
render partial: "comments/comment.json.jb"

You can see the commit in my example app here: peterxjang/jb_example_app@e9b312f. Is there something more detailed in your example that I'm not accounting for?

As far as I understand, the jb gem isn't responsible for handling the partial syntax. I believe the code that's responsible for parsing that syntax is part of Rails, jb just uses the result. So if there was an issue with inconsistent partial syntax, fixing it would be outside the scope of this gem (someone correct me if I'm wrong here...)

Thanks, Peter. I'll need to look into it in a few days as I don't have time now. I think you're right about Rails being the responsible party, though. Good to have you confirm it! I will try to get back to you next week.
