TypeError in highlight (ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper)

rubyonrails-talk

I was trying to highlight more than 1 term in a text with highlight method from TextHelper. Much to my surprise, I just copied the example from Rdoc (http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ TextHelper.html#M001050): highlight('You searched for: rails', ['for', 'rails'], '<em>\1</em>')

But I get TypeError.

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.6/lib/action_view/ helpers/text_helper.rb:48:in `escape' C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.6/lib/action_view/ helpers/text_helper.rb:48:in `highlight'

Then I updated to Rails 2.0.2 (gem update rails -y ). But still doesn't work. On the two lines above, the path is ...actionpack-1.13.6 ... what do I need to do to work with actionpack 2.0.2?

I'm working with netbeans for win XP

Thanks in advance,

Paulo Pereira

You're environment.rb probably says something like RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.2.5' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

Change that to the version of rails you want to use. Don't forget to
run rake rails:update
