I''m using rails 2.3.2 on MacOSX. This line throws an error:
logger.info ''request is an email ('' + email.to_s
+'')''
However, this line does not:
logger.info ''request is an email ('' + email.to_s +
'')''
Notice the space in ...to_s + '')'' The error is "syntax
error,
unexpected tUPLUS, expecting ''}''." Putting in the curly
braces doesn''t
help. As in...
logger.info { ''request is an email ('' + email.to_s
+'')'' }
In the words of Goldmember, "Izant zat zweirds?"
Am I missing something or should I file a bug, and, if so, where?
In the spaceless version, it seems the + is being interpreted as a unary plus (tUPLUS), the result of which will be passed as argument to #to_s With a simplified statement:>> ''''.to_s +''''NoMethodError: undefined method `+@'' for "":String>> ''''.to_s + ''''=> "">> ''''.to_s() +''''=> "" This is strictly Ruby behaviour though, not a Rails concern. mynyml On Jul 1, 2:52 am, DGerton <dger...@gmail.com> wrote:> I''m using rails 2.3.2 on MacOSX.
