to_json inconsistency?

Hello,

ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable.to_json is the only to_json without an "options" parameter. Is this intended?

For example, this code in a .rjs

page[@user.dom_id].visual_effect :drop_out, :afterFinish => ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable.new("foo")

fails with

ActionView::TemplateError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)      On line #7 of app/views/admin/users/enable.rjs

     7: page[@user.dom_id].visual_effect :drop_out, :afterFinish => ActiveSupport::JSON::Variable.new("foo")      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoding.rb:22:in `to_json'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoding.rb:22:in `send'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoding.rb:22:in `encode'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoding.rb:32:in `raise_on_circular_reference'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoding.rb:21:in `encode'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoders/hash.rb:13:in `to_json'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoders/hash.rb:12:in `map'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoders/hash.rb:12:in `to_json'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/misc.rb:28:in `returning'      vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoders/hash.rb:11:in `to_json'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:698:in `javascript_object_for'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:703:in `arguments_for_call'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:703:in `map'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:703:in `arguments_for_call'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:813:in `send'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:813:in `call'      vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/prototype_helper.rb:808:in `method_missing'      ...

Adding the options parameter no longer fails.

       def to_json(options = nil)          self        end

Cheers, Pascal.

Thanks for that, I've applied that now.

You are welcome.

I’ve closed the ticket I had filed (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/9968) I had filed for that. That ticket also included a modified test to show the error (and that patch passed the test).

Thanks for applying.

Cheers,

Pascal.
