odd number list for Hash error when using respond_to

Hello everyone,

Im using a charting plugin called openflashcharts and I seem to be getting an error when trying to use respond to. Now I know hashes are supposed to have an even amount of elements in them, but I dont see where I am going wrong. Heres my code: def index        workouts = Workout.find_all_by_user_id(current_user.id)     spinclasses = SpinClass.find_all_by_user_id(current_user.id)

     workouts_array = Array.new      spinclasses_array = Array.new

     workouts.each do |w|          workouts_array << [w.created_at.to_date, w.calories_burned]      end      spinclasses.each do |sc|          spinclasses_array << [sc.created_at.to_date, sc.calories_burned]      end

   title = Title.new("Calories burned.")

    respond_to do |wants|         wants.html         {           @graph = open_flash_chart_object(600, 300, url_for(:action => 'index', :format => :json))         }

        wants.json         {         line = Line.new()          line.text = "Line"         line.width = 1         line.colour = '#5E4725'         line.dot_size = 5           line.values = workouts_array

          chart = OpenFlashChart.new(title)           chart.add_element(line)           render :text => chart, :layout => false         }     end

  end

and heres my error:

/Users/Zack/Desktop/General/Rails/ergotech/app/controllers/charts_controller.rb:25: odd number list for Hash /Users/Zack/Desktop/General/Rails/ergotech/app/controllers/charts_controller.rb:30: odd number list for Hash /Users/Zack/Desktop/General/Rails/ergotech/app/controllers/charts_controller.rb:31: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting '}'          line.text = "Line"              ^ /Users/Zack/Desktop/General/Rails/ergotech/app/controllers/charts_controller.rb:40: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting kEND /Users/Zack/Desktop/General/Rails/ergotech/app/controllers/charts_controller.rb:54: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND

Many thanks,

zack.

bump..

Could you try making your wants.html and wants.json blocks use do...end instead of {...} and see if that works?

wants.html do   @graph = ... end

wants.json do   line = Line.new()   ... end

Because of the linebreak ruby things you are calling wants.html with no block or arguments and thinks that the block you have put on the next line is a hash literal
