Get path of corresponding controller action view file

Question

Normally rails would automatically render the file corresponding to the controller and action. For example an action index in TestController could render the file app/views/test/index.html.erb. Is there a dynamic way where I can get the path of the corresponding action view file? For example, if I have test#something I want to get app/views/test/something.html.erb.

It is possible. Check out LookupContext and view_renderer.

Within controller's action:

lookup_context.find_template("#{controller_path}/#{action_name}").identifier

Within view:

@view_renderer.lookup_context.find_template(@virtual_path).identifier
