Rails - Jan 2008 - acts_as_state_machine doesn't error on invalid state transition?

While using acts_as_state_machine, I noticed it doesn''t error when
invalid
state transition is used.  No false return, no exception.  By invalid state
transition, I mean utilizing an event that does not define the current state
as a ''from'' state.  Does anyone find this lacking?  I would
like to be able
to catch invalid state transition (such as attempting to fulfill a closed
order) and report that to the user.
Thanks

I''m using acts_as_state_machine and when I transfer to an invalid state
it
gives back [] instead of true (which would be returned if it was a valid
state). I think this should be returned as false. I looked through the code
and I couldn''t see where it''s returning []. If you can find
this you could
change the code to return false instead.
