how to render a haml subtemplate

[Doug]

I just tried to use a subtemplate to render the login view my main
page.
...both the subtemplate and the current template are haml.

render "user_session/new"
= render "user_session/new.html"
= render "user_session/new.html.haml"

I tried all three; it couldn't find any of them.
ex:
Missing template user_session/_new.html.haml in view path app/views

What am I doing wrong?
...I'm sure it's silly.

thanks,

Because it is a subtemplate - or partial - you need a leading
underscore on its filename.

right....I mean't to do this...

render :template => "user_session/new"

but this doesn't work: the page renders but there is no content from
the subtemplate.

and, there's no errors.????

thanks.

I see there is also a render_with_haml method

this produces the same results as above.
If used with :template, no error, but no content.
Otherwise error looking for "_" prefix.

hmmmmm....

Haml doesn't handle finding templates - that's all left up to Rails. I think this is likely a Rails issue.
