Rails - Nov 2008 - Different boolean expression evaluation between rspec(view) and rails environments

Hi,

Maybe its just too late in the day and I should stop :). But I am stuck at a
very weird issue. Here is an excerpt from my erb file

<% display_invisible_content =  !icon.nil? or (render_detach and
entity.mounted?) %>

(I have certain, non mountable, entities which do not have mounted? method.
It should not have been a problem because the render_detach is true only for
mountable entities)

I have tested this writing a view spec and exercising the case where icon is
nil and render_detach is false. The spec passed w/o calling the mounted?
method on entity.

When I come across the same scenario on the Rails UI (running in dev mode),
the mounted? method is called on entity despite render_detach being false!!!

How is this possible?

Ooops. Perils of coding late in the day. render_detach boolean was
indeed ''true'' :)
