Rails core - Oct 2006 - Strange behavior with session

Hi,

when I create the following method inside a controller, the result I
get is not the one I am expecting.
Anybody has an explanation for this strange behavior?

--- code
  def strange
    if nil
      raise "strange"
      session = "whatever"
    end
    render :text => session.inspect
  end
---

Thanks,

Marek

1) This list is for topics around developing the Rails core, not for  
general Rails questions. Please post your question to the general  
Rails mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk).
2) If you want to get a helpful answer to your question, you need to  
tell a lot more about your problem. What is the result you get? What  
is the result you expect? What is the "strange behaviour"?

Hi jarkko,

I thought it would be more appropriate on this list...
The result I expect is a CGI::Session object, but I do get "nil". The
strangeness factor lies in the code of the if statement, that is not
executed, but alters my session object. Otherwise the "raise" would
happen.

My installed gems are:

actionmailer (1.2.5)
actionpack (1.12.5)
actionwebservice (1.1.6)
activerecord (1.14.4)
activesupport (1.3.1)
ajax_scaffold_generator (3.1.1)
daemons (0.4.4)
gem_plugin (0.2.1)
money (1.7.1)
mongrel (0.3.13.3)
rails (1.1.6)
rake (0.7.1)
sources (0.0.1)
