rails unable to pass instance variable to partial

I am using Rails 4 for first time. Documentation says you can pass an instance variable to a partial:

<%= render partial: "customer", object: @new_customer %>

So I try to do the same. I am using fullcalendar engine and I render index.html.erb and inside that I render form partial. I pass @record to partial. I know the record is not nil because I added inspect_record helper to inspect that the @record does exist:

<%= render "form", :object => @record  %>
<%= inspect_record @record %>

However, in _form.html.erb partial, the @record is nil, and this condition returns false:

<% unless @record.nil? %>

Note I also tried this:

<%= render 'form', locals: {record: @record} %>

What might I be doing wrong?

If you are using:

<%= render 'form', locals: {record: @record} %>

then, you will need to use variable record instead of @record in your _form.html.erb as:

<% unless record.nil? %>

Description:

locals: {record: @record} means, @record's value will be accessible by using record in the partial being rendered.
