render :update doesn't add proper script tags in 2.0?

Guys,

I'm using render :update in a few places in an app we just upgraded from 1.2 to 2.0.2. However, :update seems to be broken in 2.0.2. Consider the following:

class TesterController < ApplicationController   def test_it     render :update do |page|       page.alert("This is a test")     end   end end

I then drive this from the console:

Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)

require 'action_controller/test_process' require 'application' require 'tester_controller' request = ActionController::TestRequest.new response = ActionController::TestResponse.new request.env['REQUEST_METHOD'] = 'GET' request.action = "test_it" rs = TesterController.process(request,response) rs.body

=> "try {\nalert(\"JOHN\");\n} catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\\n\\n' + e.toString()); alert('alert(\\\"This is a test\\\");'); throw e }"

Now, in the past, with older Rails versions (1.x), I am almost 100% sure this would've looked like:

rs.body

=> "<script language=\"javascript\">try {\nalert(\"JOHN\");\n} catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\\n\\n' + e.toString()); alert('alert(\\\"This is a test\\\");'); throw e }"

In other words, the response would be surrounded by: <script language="javascript"> </script>

As it is, this breaks a lot of our app.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Am I wrong?

Thanks, John

Ok, so I looked at the headers coming back across, and it appears that the mime type is set properly to indicate Javascript. So now I'm doubting whether a <script/> tag was ever involved.

The problem is exhibited by the fact that in_place_editors from scriptaculous used to evaluate this returned code properly as javascript (evalScripts:true), but they no longer work. Could it be that it's not Rails that has changed, but scriptaculous?
