User controller crashes with Ruby 1.8.7

Reported by Brian Michalski | June 1st, 2011 @ 01:41 AM | in Basic Functional Workflow [Concerto2]

The render json: syntax causes problems in Ruby 1.8.7. Assuming Ruby 1.8.7 is suppose to work with Rails 3.1, we should probably fix this. See the below log:

Could this be related to the fact that in Rails 3.1, JSON is the new default output for ActiveResource?

While I can't reproduce the old 1.8.7 environment anymore, you may want to try different syntax. format.json { render :json => @users } instead of format.json { render json: @users }.

Zach - I believe senatedev is still running Ruby 1.8.7, any chance you can
take a look at this? Running any action from the users controller should
throw one of these errors.

Haris reported a problem with senatedev and Rails 3.1 last evening. Apparently senatedev interprets /assets URLs as being /var/www/assets, probably as a result of the way directories are setup on senatedev. This seems to prevent a Rails 3.1 app from fully working on senatedev, absent some workaround...
