I also feel puzzled. But that's what my colleagues do, and it works. The
thing is they use
render :partial=>'index', :locals=>{:hash=>hash}
in the controller to pass the hash data to the partial it will render(index
in this case). And later they simply use <%= hash %> to get the hash data
passed from the controller. Maybe the :locals does some magical work here. I
am quite familiar with rspec and ruby. So I am reading more documentation
now.
Hopefully we could figure it out shortly.
