cocoon gem quirk
I was using simple forms, and renamed the form builder variable from f to s..well because I like the letter s more.
The form renders properly, until I wanted to add nested forms with cocoon.
I got the error of
undefined local variable or method `s' for #<#<Class:0x007fbc3bfa62f8>:0x007fbc3d8d28d0>after following the demo on the github page. I read the documentation to read up on the parameters of
link_to_add_associationAccording to the page, the parameters are:
name: the text to show in the link
f: the form builder
association: the name of the association (plural) of which a new instance needs to be added (symbol or string).
html_options: extra html-options
When they mean f for form_builder, they really mean that the variable has to be the letter f. No kidding.
I grudgingly renamed my variable and the nested form worked.

No kidding! Was fighting with this all day, futzing with render_options: { locals: .... }. Silly that I can't use whatever local variable I want, but thanks for the post!
ugh! wow, was messing with this for a few hours. thank you.
by the way, you made a little error here: 'until I wanted to added' => 'until I wanted to add'.
@lakesare thanks :)
