Hi All,

I have upgrade my Rails to 2.3.8 and Ruby to 1.8.6. I have managed to start my existing application but when I am clicking on any link on the page, it give me error "stack level too deep" with following stacktrace:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/buffered_logger.rb:98:in `flush' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/buffered_logger.rb:96:in `synchronize' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/buffered_logger.rb:96:in `flush' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/buffered_logger.rb:116:in `auto_flush' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/buffered_logger.rb:65:in `add' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/buffered_logger.rb:72:in `debug' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:198:in `log_info' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/query_cache.rb:78:in `cache_sql' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/query_cache.rb:60:in `select_all' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb:13:in `select_one' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb:19:in `select_value' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/calculations.rb:237:in `execute_simple_calculation' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/calculations.rb:134:in `calculate' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/calculations.rb:130:in `catch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/calculations.rb:130:in `calculate' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/calculations.rb:48:in `count' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/associations/has_many_association.rb:36:in `count_records' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/associations/association_collection.rb:276:in `size' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.8/lib/active_record/associations/association_collection.rb:295:in `empty?' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/models/artist.rb:144:in `artwork' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/artists/_artist_view.html.erb:58:in `_run_erb_app47views47artists47_artist_view46html46erb_locals_artist_view_object' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/artists/_artist_panel.html.erb:19:in `_run_erb_app47views47artists47_artist_panel46html46erb_locals_artist_panel_object_post' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:24:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb' /home/Hemant/CVSFolder/DashGo-2.2.0/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32:in `_run_erb_app47views47layouts47application46html46erb'

with last line repeated hundreds of times.

I tried running application on ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.3.5, 2.3.8, 2.1.0. I observed that, application is running fine on rails version earlier than 2.2.x. The main error line "app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:32" has <%= yeild %> statement. If I comment it, everything works fine. I am not able to get the exact issue.

Please give me the reason for the above error.

Thanks in advance.

I presume it is just a typo in your post that you have yeild rather than yield. It sounds as if the yield is yielding to itself in some way so that it keeps repeating the yield till it runs out of stack. Have you worked out where it is supposed to be yielding to? You could use ruby-debug to break into the view code and see what is happening if you cannot see the problem by inspection. Have a look at the Rails Guide on debugging if you have not used ruby-debug.
