Whats is the difference between 

render partial: 'shared/errors', locals: { errors: @project.errors }

and 

render 'shared/errors', errors: @project.errors

when rendering a partial shared/_errors.rb?

They both seem to be doing exact same thing, but in some cases you have to explicitly specify render partial: '...' if you want to use certain options such as :layout, :collection etc.

As stated here: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html#using-partials
