Part of #322: the json.partial! @record half. The other half (a partial whose body is a begin … rescue … end) is not touched here.

Probed with roundhouse 2026.9.18 (d9b482d7), Linux x86-64, CRuby 4.0.5.

Jbuilder's partial! with a record renders the record's own partial, record.to_partial_path (widgets/_widget for a Widget), with the record as the partial's local. The partial! arm in classify (src/lower/jbuilder_to_library/mod.rs) wanted a string-literal path (string_literal(path_arg)), so the call was Unknown and the template rendered {}.

The same holds for the record followed by options, json.partial!(@widget, partial: "widgets/widget", as: :widget): jbuilder 2.15's partial! is

options = args.extract_options!.dup
options[:partial] = args.first if args.present?

so the positional record replaces the partial: option, and Rails renders the record's partial. (I checked this on Rails 8.1.4 with partial: "widgets/other": the answer is still widgets/_widget's.) as: only names the partial's local.

# app/views/widgets/detail.json.jbuilder
json.partial! @widget

# app/views/widgets/wrapped.json.jbuilder
json.kind "wrapped"
json.widget do
  json.partial! @widget
end

# app/views/widgets/aliased.json.jbuilder
json.partial!(@widget, partial: "widgets/widget", as: :widget)
Rails 8.1.4 + jbuilder 2.15.1 main
detail {"id":1,"name":"b"} {}
wrapped {"kind":"wrapped","widget":{"id":1,"name":"b"}} {"kind":"wrapped","widget":{}}
aliased {"id":1,"name":"b"} {}

Fix

In the partial! arm, a first argument that is a bare local, alone or followed by partial: / as: only, classifies as PartialRecord. emit_object resolves it where the app's models are known (Ctx::models): the model is the one the local is named after (widget → Widget), the same name-to-model reading the template's parameters get from ivar_ty, and the path is "<plural>/<singular>" of it, which is what to_partial_path answers for a non-namespaced model, under the namespace of the template's own directory (admin/widgets/widget for a view in admin/widgets/, Action View's prefix_partial_path_with_controller_namespace default). It then emits the call json.partial! "widgets/widget", widget: @widget already emits:

io << Views::Widgets.widget_json(widget)

Three forms stay unrecognized and render as before:

  • a local that names no model of the app (no path to take; I didn't want to guess one from the partial: option that jbuilder itself ignores);
  • a record followed by other options (json.partial! @widget, label: "x"): those are locals for the partial, and the lowered call passes the record by position only, so the partial would miss them;
  • as: naming the local something other than the model's singular (as: :entry, or as: "entry": Action View to_syms a String as:, so the two are compared alike): the lowered partial takes the record under widget, so a partial reading entry would not find it. An as: that is not a literal is left alone too.

The path is the conventional one; a model that overrides to_partial_path is not looked at.

Tests

tests/jbuilder_partial_record.rs: the three templates above with a _widget partial, ingested in memory. It checks the emitted Ruby (every view parses; each template calls Views::Widgets.widget_json(widget); an Admin::WidgetsController view calls Views::Admin::Widgets.widget_json; json.partial! @gadget with no Gadget model, json.partial! @widget, as: :widget, label: "x" and json.partial! @widget, as: :entry emit no partial call; a_string_as_is_compared_like_a_symbol checks that as: "entry" and as: local_name emit none either and as: "widget" renders the partial), then writes the emitted views next to runtime/ruby/json_builder.rb, renders them on CRuby with a Struct for the row, and compares with the Rails answers in the table. Without the change, 3 of its 5 tests fail (the parse test and the left-alone test pass); the render test gets the main column. a_string_as_is_compared_like_a_symbol also fails with only the String as: handling stashed: as: "entry" bound the record as widget.

Full suite, cargo test --release --no-fail-fast on this machine (fixtures/real-blog generated with bin/rh fixture), rebased on current main (bcdc1f10): 3369 passed, 2 failed, 124 ignored. The 2 failures are resource_and_harness_helpers_preserve_failures_and_contracts and the_store_fixture_checks_clean, which fail the same way on main on this host.

Rebased on #367 (begin … rescue … end around pairs), which touched the same file; the only conflict was the header list, where this form is now item 12. tests/jbuilder_guarded_pairs.rs passes. Still open against the same file: #355 and #359; whichever lands later rebases.

Found while compiling a Rails API app with --target spinel.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Jbuilder lowerer recognizes json.partial! calls with a bare local record. For known models, it derives a partial path and emits the partial call with the record. Tests cover generated Ruby and rendered JSON.

Changes

Record-based Jbuilder partials

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recognize and emit record partials
src/lower/jbuilder_to_library/mod.rs
The lowerer recognizes a bare local record when the call has no options or a supported options hash. It derives a partial path for matching app models and emits the partial call with the record. In mixed object templates, it emits an empty append.
Validate generated record partials
tests/jbuilder_partial_record.rs
Tests cover whole-template, nested, and option-bearing record partials. They check generated Ruby parsing and partial calls, then render the views under CRuby and compare the JSON output.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: rubys

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f307f

Some supported record-partial views can produce incomplete JSON or select the wrong partial. Resolve those cases before merging unless their limitations are explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2c303

Record partials now render through a template selected from application source rather than runtime record data. No new privilege escalation or cross-tenant path was identified. Custom record-defined rendering behavior remains outside the validated scope.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly supported exposure change is that matching record-partial templates now return their selected partial's JSON instead of the fallback object. Target selection remains controlled by application source; the inspected path does not add runtime selection of arbitrary templates.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Classification restricts record calls to supported bare-local shapes without blocks and with only partial: or as: option keys. Model membership and matching symbol-valued local names gate dispatch, which reuses the existing structured constant-path sink.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Resolution completes before record-partial emission, and the child call is evaluated before its result is appended. Failure, repetition, and concurrent invocation therefore retain the existing partial-call buffer ownership model; this conclusion is source-based rather than independently runtime-tested.

Render record partials in mixed object templates.

If a template contains json.kind "wrapped" followed by json.partial! @widget, this arm silently drops the partial. The output contains kind but none of the partial’s fields. Jbuilder renders the record partial into the current builder. Support that merge, or preserve the dynamic path for this shape instead of emitting a partial object. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines: “if a rewrite is unsafe or its shape is unsupported, preserve the dynamic path rather than partially materializing it.”

This isn't a regression: a json.partial! next to other keys in the same object was Unknown before this PR too, and the existing Partial / ArrayPartial forms have the same limit (a whole-template form inside an object is dropped). Merging a partial's pairs into the enclosing object needs the partial to append into the caller's builder instead of returning a whole object, which is a bigger change. I'm leaving it for a follow-up. The nested-block case (json.widget do json.partial! @widget end) works and is covered by the wrapped template in the_templates_render_what_jbuilder_renders.

@eddygarcas Thanks for the clarification. This is a pre-existing limitation, not a regression from this PR. The nested-block form works because the partial supplies the entire nested object.

I agree that merging partial fields into the caller’s object needs a broader change. Deferring that work is reasonable.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for mixed-object partial rendering?

Learning: In `src/lower/jbuilder_to_library/mod.rs`, Jbuilder partial methods return complete JSON values rather than append fields into the caller's builder. A partial used alongside other keys in the same object is an existing unsupported shape. A sole partial inside a nested block, such as `json.widget do json.partial! widget end`, uses the whole-object path and is supported. Mixed-object merging requires a broader builder-composition change.

Do not assume every model uses its conventional partial path.

If a known model overrides to_partial_path, this code still calls the partial derived from its class name. Rails selects the path returned by the record instead. The generated view can render a different partial or call one that does not exist. Resolve the override where possible; otherwise preserve dynamic dispatch for that model. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Right, this takes the conventional path only: "<plural>/<singular>" of the model the local is named after. To see an override, the lowering would have to read the model's to_partial_path body, and it doesn't read model methods anywhere else. I'm leaving that for a follow-up. For an app that overrides it, the template now renders the conventional partial, where before this PR it rendered {}.

@eddygarcas, understood. This PR adds conventional-path support; to_partial_path overrides remain unsupported. I accept deferring override support to a follow-up.

Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for that follow-up, including tests for resolved overrides and dynamic fallback?

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve rendering when the record path is unresolved.

If @gadget holds a Widget, record_partial_path returns None because the local name does not match a model. The fallback then emits {}, while Jbuilder renders the record’s partial. The STRAY fixture demonstrates this reachable state but asserts the empty fallback. Preserve dynamic rendering for an unresolved record, and test its JSON output instead of accepting {}. Jbuilder dispatches a single Active Model argument through its record-rendering path. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

A jbuilder statement that is not a `json.*` call was Unknown, so a
template or partial whose body is a `begin … rescue … end` rendered
`{}`.

A `begin` with `rescue` clauses (no `else`, no `ensure`) is now
`Guarded`: the same `begin`, with the body's pairs and each rescue's
pairs appended inside it. Jbuilder keeps the pairs a raising body
finished and drops the one it was computing; here a pair's key is
already appended when its value raises, so the body records the
accumulator's length after each statement and a rescue first cuts the
accumulator back to it. The commas use `emit_pairs`' state: a rescue
starts from the state at any mark, and the state after the statement is
the body's end state or any rescue's.

`rewrite_ivars_to_locals` now descends into `begin`/`rescue`, so a
template's `@ivar` reads there become the method's parameters like
everywhere else.

Part of rubys#322 (the `begin … rescue` half; rubys#356 is the other).

On the outside-diff item "Preserve rendering when the record path is unresolved" (mod.rs:488): an unresolved record partial renders the same way it did before this PR (the statement stays Unknown), so I've left changing that for a follow-up.

template's `@ivar` reads there become the method's parameters like
everywhere else.

Part of rubys#322 (the `begin … rescue` half; rubys#356 is the other).

Jbuilder's `partial!` with a record renders `record.to_partial_path`
(`widgets/_widget` for a `Widget`) with the record as its local. With
`partial:` / `as:` after the record it renders the same partial:
`partial!` sets `options[:partial]` to its positional, over the option,
and `as:` only names the local. The `partial!` arm wanted a
string-literal path first, so these calls were Unknown and the template
rendered `{}`.

A bare local first argument, alone or followed by `partial:` / `as:`,
is now a `PartialRecord`, resolved at emit time to `"<plural>/<singular>"`
of the model the local is named after (the same name-to-model reading
the template's parameters get), under the namespace of the template's
directory, as Action View prefixes it with the controller's. A local
that names no model of the app, one followed by other locals for the
partial (which a positional call cannot pass), and an `as:` other than
the model's singular (the name the lowered partial takes the record
under) stay Unknown, as before. `as:` is compared as a Symbol or a String,
which Action View `to_sym`s alike; a non-literal `as:` stays Unknown.

Part of rubys#322.
