You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:

<%= render "shared/header", { :headline => "Welcome", :person => person } %>

These can now be accessed in shared/header with:

Headline: <%= headline %>
First name: <%= person.first_name %>

If you need to find out whether a certain local variable has been assigned a value in a particular render call, you need to use the following pattern:

test definition can be written as such
test "that a new user has a valid name" do
  #some test stuff
end

You would use ActiveSupport::TestCase as the parent class of any of your Rails tests.

Inside a Test, you are generally trying to do 4 things:
1) Set up the data.
2) Perform the action that triggers the behavior being tested (i.e. - call to a controller method or call to a model method).

#Go To File Bundle.  You might need to create the /Bundles directory before you can cd into it.
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/
git clone git://github.com/amiel/gotofile.tmbundle.git GoToFile.tmbundle

#after that, you will want to add some file types that ack wont search by default
#source:  https://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle/wiki/recognizing-files
#in terminal, create ~/.ackrc
--type-add=ruby=.haml,.rake,.rsel

#or, alternately, specify to search all files

navigate to a directory in terminal and type

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

that will start a simple server on 0.0.0.0:8000
(or what I named in my /etc/hosts file, dev.python.com:8000 )
