Rails Tutorial - chapter 11.3.2 error (listing 11.27)

I'm going through the railstutorial.org book, and after adding a micropost instance variable at app/controllers/pages_controller.rb, my app's homepage fails to render and instead gives me the following error (on the browser):

ActionView::MissingTemplate in Pages#home

Showing /app/views/pages/home.html.erb where line #9 raised:

Missing partial shared/user_info with {:handlers=>[:erb, :rjs, :builder, :rhtml, :rxml], :formats=>[:html], :locale=>[:en, :en]} in view paths "/app/views"

Here is my home.html.erb file:

<% if signed_in? %>
  <table class="front" summary="For signed-in users">
    <tr>
      <td class="main">
        <h1 class="micropost">What's up?</h1>
        <%= render 'shared/micropost_form' %>
      </td>
      <td class="sidebar round">
        <%= render 'shared/user_info' %>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
<% else %>
  <h1>Sample App</h1>

  <p>
    This is the home page for the
    <a href="http://railstutorial.org/">Ruby on Rails Tutorial</a>
    sample application.
  </p>

  <%= link_to "Sign up now!", signup_path, :class => "signup_button round" %>
<% end %>

And here is my _user_info.html.erb file:

<div class="user_info">
  <a href="<%= user_path(current_user) %>">
    <%= gravatar_for current_user, :size => 30 %>
    <span class="user_name">
      <%= current_user.name %>
    </span>
    <span class="microposts">
      <%= pluralize(current_user.microposts.count, "micropost") %>
    </span>
  </a>
</div>

I dont think I've made a mistake in following the tutorial. I've even looked through similar threads stackoverflow.com threads, to no avail:

• NoMethodError in Pages#home

• ruby on rails tutorial - rails 3.0 chapter 11 rspec fails after code listing 11.27

Does anyone have any ideas?

It is missing the following code at app/views/shared/_user_info.html.erb

<div class="user_info">
    <a href="<%= user_path(current_user) %>">
    <%= gravatar_for current_user, :size => 30 %>
    <span class="user_name">
        <%= current_user.name %>
    </span>
    <span class="microposts">
        <%= pluralize(current_user.microposts.count, "micropost") %>
    </span>
    </a>
</div>

You need to add view app/views/shared/_user_info.html.erb. I guess you have wrong path for it.

---

it is looks like you does not passed step are showed in Listing 11.30:

def home
  @title = "Home"
  @micropost = Micropost.new if signed_in?
end

but I have no clue why it reflected on render user_info partial :(
