14,305 PointsRender error
I thought that I was following the directions, however this throws an error message with a huge stack saying the the render is wrong, What am I missing here?
<h1>Owner: <%= @owner.name %></h1>
<div id="pets">
<h2>Pets</h2>
<!-- YOUR CODE HERE -->
<%= @owner.pets.each do |name| %>
<%= render partial: "pets/pet", locals: {name: name} %>
<%= end %>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Name:</strong>
<%= pet.name %>
</div>

Treehouse TeacherThere are a couple issues here. Here's the first:
<%= end %>
You should only use <%= %> if you want to insert the result of an expression into the template output. Which you never want to do with an end keyword. Use <% %> here instead.
Once you solve that, this code will cause a different error:
<%= @owner.pets.each do |name| %>
<%= render partial: "pets/pet", locals: {name: name} %>
<% end %>
The code @owner.pets.each do |name| causes each Pet to be stored, one at a time, in a variable called name. name doesn't contain a name, it contains a Pet. So you should probably change the name of your name variable to pet:
<%= @owner.pets.each do |pet| %>
<%= render partial: "pets/pet", locals: {pet: pet} %>
<% end %>
Once you do that, this code in the partial (which is expecting a local variable named pet) should work correctly:
<div>
<strong>Name:</strong>
<%= pet.name %>
</div>
