It is not a partial (starts with underscore), so you need render template. You also need the full path of the template, from the view directory:

<%= render template: 'product_lists/index' %>

if its not within the same folder you need to explicit tell the path. the error message is showing where rails is looking for.

<%= render "product_lists/index" %>
