Partial not being found Rails

I am following Michael Hartl's book to put in some following functionality into my app and when I attempt to use the AJAX on my follow and unfollow buttons I am receiving these errors when trying to change the buttons that are rendered:

Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 81ms

ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template users/follow_user, application/follow_user with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:js, :html], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :coffee]}. Searched in:

  Rendered /Users/hugo/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318/gems/actionpack-3.2.3/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/missing_template.erb within rescues/layout (0.5ms)

This is the code in my controller:

def follow_user
    @other_user = User.get(params[:user_id].to_i)
    current_user.follow(@other_user)

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html {redirect_to user_profile_path(@other_user)}
      format.js
    end
  end

This is my form...well not form but the link to follow function:

<% unless current_user == @user %>
  <div id="follow_form">
  <% if current_user.following?(@user) %>
    <%= render 'users/unfollow' %>
  <% else %>
    <%= render 'users/follow' %>
  <% end %>
  </div>
<% end %>

And this is one of the partials I am trying to render:

<%= link_to "Follow", user_follow_user_path(@user), :class => "btn btn-primary", :style => "margin-bottom:20px;", :remote => true %>

And this is the file to render the right button, I'm using this code my Michael's book:

$("#follow_form").html("<%= escape_javascript(render('users/unfollow')) %>")

However I am getting the error above that my partial is not found; can anyone explain to me why? Thanks

Bad reading on my part, the problem was the naming of my javascript file. The name of that has to match your controller action.

It's saying it's trying to render a template, which from my experience is a file in the views/ folder without the underscore preceding the name. Add the underscore to the start of the file name and do render :partial => 'users/follow' and see if that helps
