    copied!<p>I am passing two locals from a view ERB to a partial. Both locals are successfully passed in local_assigns. However, I am only able to use the FormBuilder via a local variable name in the partial. The other value is usable within my partial as local_assigns[:disable_edits], but not as disable_edits.</p> <p><strong>_form.html.erb</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;div&gt; &lt;%= f.fields_for :panels do |builder| %&gt; &lt;%= render "panel_fields", :f =&gt; builder, :disable_edits =&gt; true %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>_panel_fields.html.erb</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= local_assigns[:disable_edits] %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%#= disable_edits ? 'disable edits true' : 'disable edits false' %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= local_assigns.keys %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>local_assigns[:disable_edits] results in "true" being displayed.</p> <p>local_assigns.keys results in "[:f, :disable_edits, :panel_fields]" being displayed.</p> <p>Uncommenting the ternary statement results in "undefined local variable or method `disable_edits' for #&lt;#:0x4d58768>"</p> <p>I am following what I understand is the latest suggested Rails syntax, but have tried manipulations using :partial=>, :locals=>, :as=>, etc. to no avail. I also do not think I've made this an optional argument in any way, so a lot of the information about testing with has_key vs. nil? isn't helping me. My understanding is everything in local_assigns should be exposed as in the partial as a local variable with the same name as the hash key.</p> <p>I'm getting by for now using local_assigns[:disable_edits], but would like to understand what is happening and correct things so I can use more conventional syntax. Thanks!</p>
