Rails - Apr 2006 - case statements in views...strange error on OSX

I have a simple case statement in one of my views. This works fine on my 
windows machine. Move to the mac and I get: "parse error, unexpected 
tIDENTIFIER, expecting kWHEN".

I have not changed anything but cannot resolve the issue. my view has 
this in it (simplified for test)

<% case controller.controller_name -%>
<% when "accounts" -%>
<h3>worked accounts</h3>
<% else -%>
<h3>worked else</h3>
<% end -%>

I have reset the server everything. I''m using rails 1.1.1 and the
latest
stable ruby build. Please help?

Is it because I cannot split a case statement up like an if statement?

I''ve tested this code on Freebsd 5.3/Ruby 1.8/rails 1.0 and it runs
fine
so i wouldn''t have thought it''s syntax...

someone try on OSX to check ?

Still no joy there seems to be a direct problem with using case 
statements in rails on OSX. Everything I try results in an error. Is 
this linked to rails 1.1.1 ??

Has anyone used a case statement in a view without issue on OSX ?

Have you been retyping this in OSX, or are you still working with the  
same file from your PC?  Could it be a character set issue?

I have tried both. What I can now gather is that when you use a case 
statement inside a view it does not like being written like this:
<% case controller.controller_name -%>
<% when "accounts" -%>
<h3>worked accounts</h3>
<% else -%>
<h3>worked else</h3>
<% end -%>

If I retype it like the example underneath it does not error but also 
does not work, produces nothing. Yet on the PC it works fine.

<% case controller.controller_name
when "accounts"
''<h3>worked accounts</h3>''
else
''<h3>worked else</h3>''
end %>

What makes it even more interesting is that I wish to call a helper 
method inside the case statement like this:

<% case controller.controller_name -%>

<% when "accounts" -%>

    <%= sub_tab "Overview",
:controller=>''accounts'', :action =>
''index''%>
    <%= sub_tab "List Employees",
:controller=>''accounts'', :action =>
''list'' %>
    <%= sub_tab "Roles & Permissions",
:controller=>''accounts'', :action
=> ''permissions'' %>

<% when "clients" -%>

    <%= sub_tab "List Clients",
:controller=>''clients'', :action =>
''index'' %>

<% else -%>

    <%= sub_tab "Overview",
:controller=>''projects'', :action =>
''index''
%>

<% end -%>

Is there is another way to do what i''m trying to do without using case 
statements?

I just tried a test, using OS X (10.4.6, Rails 1.1.2):

<% case @book.name -%>
<% when "book" %>
Is Book<br>
<% else %>
Not Book<br>
<% end %>


and it worked just fine.

That is an odd one. Can you do a case statement using irb?

irb(main):001:0> b=''book''
=> "book"
irb(main):002:0> case b
irb(main):003:1> when ''car''
irb(main):004:1> puts "is a car"
irb(main):005:1> when ''book''
irb(main):006:1> puts "is a book"
irb(main):007:1> else
irb(main):008:1* puts "nothing"
irb(main):009:1> end
is a book

That works fine. I have just updated ruby and rails to the latest 
versions and it still does not work. I have created a new rails project 
and just added this in the view:

<h1>Runme#index</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/runme/index.rhtml</p>
<% case controller_controller_name %>
<% when ''runme'' %>
<h3>hello</h3>
<% else %>
<h1>not ok</h1>
<% end %>

This is the error I get:

 SyntaxError in Runme#index

Showing app/views/runme/index.rhtml where line #3 raised:

Was that just a typeo? -
...
  case controller.controller_name
...

What happens when you say:

<% case ''runme'': %> instead of <% case
''runme'' %>
?

SOLVED !!!

It seems that you have to have the case and the first when on the same 
ruby line e.g:

<% case controller.controller_name when ''runme'' %>

instead of:


<% case controller.controller_name %>
<% when ''runme'' %>

How strange is that, I thought that it would not matter? Anyway on with 
the project...

I had this same problem yesterday. I''m on XP though, Ruby 1.8.4
mswin32,
and Rails 1.1.2. I found two ways around it:

1. Encapsulate the whole case statement in <%= %>
2. Encapsulate the first when with the case keyword, i.e.

<% b = :banana %>

<% case b
when String %>

It''s a string!

<% when Symbol %>

No it''s a symbol!

<% end %>

Very odd.

As I posted above, this code works just fine in a test app in show.rhtml:

<% case controller.controller_name -%>
<% when "books" %>
Is Book<br>
<% else %>
Not Book<br>
<% end %>
