rails partial not found but it exists

inb4 read the docs

I've already tried everything in the documentation and everything on stackoverflow just repeats the documentation.

I'm trying to render a partial from within another view inside a gem being used by the application:

<%= render :partial => "#{Rails.root.to_s}/app/views/layouts/login" %>

It's complaining that the partial isn't found even though I know it exists.

Missing partial /home/hstorres/src/<app-name>/app/views/layouts/login

The following command was done from within the app containing the partial:

$ ls /home/hstorres/src/<app-name>/app/views/layouts
application.html.erb _login.html.erb

So if it exists, and it's looking for it in the right place, why can't it find it?

View paths in Rails are relative to /app/views/. Simply typing render :partial => "layouts/login" will do what you want.

You could use

<%= render "layouts/login" %>
