Rails 3.0 undefined local variable when rendering a partial

I'm working with a Rails 3.0.20 app and I'm trying to pass a local variable through a partial and it's displaying 'undefined local variable' I've had a look at the other posts on this issue and couldn't fix it.

Here is my call to render the parital

    = f.fields_for :current_positions do |builder|
        = render :partial => 'current_position_fields', :locals => {:f => builder, :foo => 'hi'}

Here is my partial

%tr.pos_start
    %td
        = foo
        = f.hidden_field :id, class: "pos_id"
        = f.label :name, "Position Name"
    %td= f.text_field :name
%tr.pos_loc
    %td= f.label :location, "Position Location"
    %td= f.text_field :location
%tr.pos_end
    %td= f.label :year, "Position Year"
    %td= f.text_field :year
    %td.fields
        = link_to_remove_fields "DEL", f

The error message is 

undefined local variable or method `foo' for #<#<Class:0x00000008d4a050>:0x00000008d3c590>

If I take the = foo out of the code everything else works.

Found my error, I was calling the partial in an application helper as well and not passing on the appropriate local variables.

I found this when I could copy the partial to another name and call that with a variable and it worked.

Try:

 =render 'current_position_fields', :f => builder, :foo => 'hi'
