how to render erb templates when haml/hamlit and erb extensions installed about cells HOT 3 CLOSED

It looks like this isn't supported and I'm not going to be able to implement it so closing.

It is possible by include Cell::Haml into your cell class. The only problem is that cells-rails might get in your way here because of our automatic behavior: https://github.com/trailblazer/cells-rails/blob/master/lib/cell/railtie.rb#L63 I am strongly voting for deprecating this in favor of Application::Cell where you have to do this manually, or some more explicit mechnism.

Thanks for looking at this. It is a (legacy) rails app so that railtie behaviour looks like it's probably the cause.

My class definition was like this:

module Dashboard
  module Cell
    class Topics < Trailblazer::Cell
      include ::Cell::Erb

    ... bunch of refactored methods
    end
  end
end

Removing the ham(lit) gem made it render the erb template but I didn't have success overriding the options or suffix methods/properties in my cell.

I'm subclassing Trailblazer::Cell because I wanted to use the not-deprecated file paths described in http://trailblazer.to/gems/cells/trailblazer.html

I got round this by just not mixing template types, but an explicit mechanism for this sounds good.
