Rails 2.3.4 -> 2.3.14: broken api compatibility?

[franzk]

Hi *,

I cannot find any active bug tracker, so I want to share my todays experience here...

Concerning this commit:

Use bind instead of instance_exec cause it may be causing memory leaks. Also, provide a simpler and sane implementation for scoped. [#5044 state:resolved]

I updated my rails app today and discovered, that this commit might have broken some compatibility. I used something like this:

collection = <Model>.scoped ...

This does not work anymore, I have to add ({}) - so i think it should be

def scoped(scope={}, &block)

instead of

def scoped(scope, &block)

What do you think?

It does seem like you’ve found an unintentional breakage introduced in the 2-3 stream, however 2.3 is now only receiving security fixes so this won’t be fixed. You’ll have to change your code to work around this, or upgrade to 3.0 or 3.1 to avoid it entirely.
