Nested view; Trying to include top-level partials

[harlow]

I'm running into an issue where I'm trying to include a partial from a nested view.

It works great from app/views/test.erb. However, the issue arises when I'm on the nested view app/views/dashboard/manage.erb.

app/views/dashboard/manage.erb
app/views/layouts/site.erb
app/views/layouts/dashboard.erb
app/views/shared/_analytics.erb
app/views/test.erb

It's trying to include the partial relative to that file:

Let me know if there is already a way to include partials from nested views?

If not please let me know if it's something that I can contribute. I'm not sure the best way to go about so any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe something like this:

1. Partial exists relative to current view?
2. Partial exists in base app view directory?

Hi @harlow ,

There's no intrinsic reason why this shouldn't work just because the partial is nested. Are you able to share the calling code used in app/views/dashboard/manage.erb, or just a very similar test case I can try?

@yb66 yeah I'll throw together a gist this weekend w/ an example.

As far as I can tell the issue arises here: https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/blob/18353f8e0fe8b1be10c1e56f3d7301deda841b4d/lib/sinatra/base.rb#L801

settings.views -> 'app/views/dashboard'

Which means that it will be looking for shared one directory up from app/views
