Access local variable in partial

Javier Bonet asked in Rails
Hi there,

I'm working on a budgeting section of a graphic designer web and I created the following model hierarchy:
general_budget.rb
class GeneralBudget < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :budgets

  accepts_nested_attributes_for :budgets, reject_if: :all_blank, allow_destroy: true
end

budget.rb
class Budget < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :sheet_type
  belongs_to :general_budget
  ...
end

sheet_type.rb (A4 photography 120 grs.)
class SheetType < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :sheet_size
end

sheet_size.rb (A5, A4, ...)
class SheetSize < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :sheet_types
end

And I'm using cocoon gem to create multiple budgets while creating a general budget.

I finished with the section where the designer budget, the problem come up when he wants to edit an specific budget. new.html.erb and edit.html.erb are pretty simple

general_budgets/new.html.erb
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab:300,400,700" rel="stylesheet">

<div>

  <%= image_tag "logo.gif", class: "logo" %>

  <%= render 'form' %>

  <%= link_to 'Atras', url_for(:back) %>

</div>

general_budgets/edit.html.erb
<h1>Editando Presupuesto General</h1>

<%= render 'form' %>

<%= link_to 'Mostrar', @general_budget %> |
<%= link_to 'Atras', url_for(:back) %>

general_budgets/_form.html.erb
<%= form_for(@general_budget) do |f| %>
  <% if @general_budget.errors.any? %>
    <div id="error_explanation">
      <h2><%= pluralize(@general_budget.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this general_budget from being saved:</h2>

      <ul>
      <% @general_budget.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
        <li><%= message %></li>
      <% end %>
      </ul>
    </div>
  <% end %>

  <div class="budgets">
    
   <%= f.fields_for :budgets do |budget| %>
      <%= render 'budget_fields', { f: budget, size: budget.object.sheet_type.sheet_size.id } %>
    <% end %>


    <div class="links agregar_presupuesto">
      <%= link_to_add_association f, :budgets do%>
        <i class=" icon-plus-circled"> Agregar Presu </i>
      <% end %>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div id="general_data">
    
    <!-- GENERAL BUDGET INPUT FIELDS -->
    
    <div class="actions crearPresu">
      <%= f.submit 'Finalizar Presu' %>
    </div>
  </div>
<% end %>

general_budgets/_budget_fields.html.erb
<div class="nested-fields miniBudget">
  
  
  ...
    
  <div class="papel">

    <%= local_assigns[:size] %> <----------- Here the value shows up with no problem

    <div class="field papelSize">
      <%= f.select :sheet_type_id, SheetSize.find(local_assigns[:size]).sheet_types.collect { |p| [ p.full_name, p.id ] }, { prompt: "Tipo papel" }, { class: 'sheet_type' }%>
                                                         ^
                                                         |
                                       Here seems to have nil value
    </div>

  </div>

  ...


</div>

I get the possible sheet types this way ( SheetSize.find(local_assigns[:size]).sheet_types ) because I need to show sheet types related to the the designer have chosen previously (i.e. If he chose A4, I want sheet type select display A4 sheet types)

The error in the browser is
Couldn't find SheetSize with 'id'= 

 Extracted source (around line #43): 
 | 41  
 | 42  <div class="field papelSize">
 | 43    <%= f.select :sheet_type_id, SheetSize.find(local_assigns[:size].to_s).sheet_types.collect { |p| [ p.full_name, p.id ] }, { prompt: "Tipo papel" }, { class: 'sheet_type' }%>
 | 44  </div>
 | 45
 | 46
       <div class="field">

I've been googling for a while and can't get any clue.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks.
