This doesn't seem to work for partials.

I have updated the gist. Looks like you have to call render method now -- both versions (template and partial) work for me on 3.0.4

please let me know if it doesn't work...

rdetert commented

I had to call it the old fashioned way by going 'render :partial => "hello_world/show"'

Another GOTCHA is you'll need to set this: self.assets_dir = '/app/public' if you want to use something like image_tag in your views

hubertlepicki commented

yes, pretty sure both are expected behaviors

guipdutra commented

I want to render with the assets, I have to do anything else?

bradrobertson commented

any idea how to get this to work on Rails 3.2, specifically with proper digested asset urls? The above code doesn't work with rails 3.2
