Rails - May 2008 - render :update doesn't add proper script tags in 2.0?

Guys,

I''m using render :update in a few places in an app we just upgraded
from 1.2 to 2.0.2. However, :update seems to be broken in 2.0.2.
Consider the following:

class TesterController < ApplicationController
  def test_it
    render :update do |page|
      page.alert("This is a test")
    end
  end
end

I then drive this from the console:

Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)
>> require ''action_controller/test_process''
>> require ''application''
>> require ''tester_controller''
>> request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
>> response = ActionController::TestResponse.new
>> request.env[''REQUEST_METHOD''] =
''GET''
>> request.action = "test_it"
>> rs = TesterController.process(request,response)
>> rs.body
=> "try {\nalert(\"JOHN\");\n} catch (e) { alert(''RJS
error:\\n\\n'' +
e.toString()); alert(''alert(\\\"This is a
test\\\");''); throw e }"

Now, in the past, with older Rails versions (1.x), I am almost 100%
sure this would''ve looked like:
>> rs.body
=> "<script language=\"javascript\">try
{\nalert(\"JOHN\");\n} catch
(e) { alert(''RJS error:\\n\\n'' + e.toString());
alert(''alert(\\\"This
is a test\\\");''); throw e }"

In other words, the response would be surrounded by:
<script language="javascript">
</script>

As it is, this breaks a lot of our app.

Can someone tell me what I''m missing? Am I wrong?

Thanks,
John

Ok, so I looked at the headers coming back across, and it appears that
the mime type is set properly to indicate Javascript. So now I''m
doubting whether a <script/> tag was ever involved.

The problem is exhibited by the fact that in_place_editors from
scriptaculous used to evaluate this returned code properly as
javascript (evalScripts:true), but they no longer work. Could it be
that it''s not Rails that has changed, but scriptaculous?
