Stimulus Reflex doesn't render ViewComponent with params

[alliedarmour]

Steps to reproduce

In my reflex I want to re-render a view component with the morph directive, like so:

 def order_success(user_id)
    morph "#weekly-meal-list, ApplicationController.render(MealComponent.new(user_id: user_id.to_i))
  end

Then my view component is initialized with the user record like this:

  def initialize(user_id:)
    @user = User.find(user_id)
  end

I tried to pass the user instance directly aswell, but still same issue. Now, in my view (cause of wicked pdf) I have to render the component with the render_component directive instead of just render.

<tbody id="weekly-meal-list">
      <%= render_component(MealComponent.new(user_id: user.id)) %>
</tbody>

Now, when I want to re-render just this table with the reflex above, I get the following error:

StimulusReflex::Channel Failed to invoke Order#order_success! http://localhost:3000/users/1/order_cards/new '#<MealComponent:0x000055fe47a95e98 @user=#<User id: 1, name: "Admin User", email: "example@braunfels.org", password_digest: "$2a$10$sx3fPbyQoPfIP4j/iIiGeOYbNw2laFIE.iVwzCxP7ts...", twoFactorEnabled: "enabled", canDoGuestOrder: true, commentedToday: true, hasCommentedThisWeek: true, otp_secret_key: "ZZOJYZGT6ENI2HADWXPELKVAGREEW2VS", created_at: "2020-07-18 11:36:03", updated_at: "2020-07-24 17:18:03", reset_digest: nil, reset_sent_at: nil, workplace_id: 2, has_ldap_connection: nil, salt: "zhxBMJfAmPVW4MiXvCu3", remember_me_token: "T1fgN4zhqdW17juCH6K4", remember_me_token_expires_at: "2020-08-06 07:51:43", user_accountable_type: "ExternalClinicAccount", user_accountable_id: 1>>' is not an ActiveModel-compatible object. It must implement :to_partial_path. /home/mkrs/.rbenv/versions/2.6.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/actionview-6.0.3.2/lib/action_view/renderer/partial_renderer.rb:493:inpartial_path'`

But as I checked inside the initialize method of the component, it IS implementing :to_partial_path:

(byebug) user.respond_to?(:to_partial_path)
true

Expected behavior

Just the view component should get rendered again, with the new updated list.

Actual behavior

The view component doesn't get rendered, instead I get the error.

@alliedarmour thank you for taking the time to file this issue. Would you be willing to write a PR with a failing test for this problem?

[scottbarrow]

@alliedarmour did you figure this out, having a similar issue.

[andrewmcodes]

I believe view_component_reflexwas written to address this.

[alliedarmour]

@scottbarrow sorry for the late response, yeah I figured out what caused the problem. I mentioned it in the Stimulus Reflex repo over here.

@andrewmcodes This looks awesome, I will give it a try!
