Why does Ruby on Rails not render some text?

I have the following code in a partial view file _status.html.erb.

<%=
    if session[:user].nil?
        "welcome new user"
         link_to( 'Sign in', login_path) 
    else
         render ( :text => "user name:")
         h(session[:user].name)
     end
 %>

The only thing that I see though is the value of session[:user].name. Any suggestions?

You really don't need to call render, unless it's located in another partial.

In erb:

<% if session[:user].nil? -%>
  welcome new user
  <%= link_to( 'Sign in', login_path) %>
<% else -%>
  user name
  <%= h(session[:user].name) %>
<% end -%>

Or in Haml:

- if session[:user].nil?
  welcome new user
  = link_to( 'Sign in', login_path)
- else
  user name
  = h(session[:user].name)
