REXML -- 'trans' variable undefined in Document#write

[insanitarian@…]

The error message (below) is given when calling method "write" from REXML::Document.

Example: @newxml = REXML::Document.new(File.open("/file.xml")); @newxml.write($stdout, 1)

Error Message: /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.2/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rexml/document.rb:187:in write': undefined local variable or method trans' for <UNDEFINED> ... </>:REXML::Document (NameError)

Corresponding Code: #/Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.2/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/rexml/document.rb

# Line 182:188

def write( output=$stdout, indent=-1, transitive=false, ie_hack=false )

if xml_decl.encoding != "UTF-8" && !output.kind_of?(Output)

output = Output.new( output, xml_decl.encoding )

end formatter = if indent > -1

if trans

REXML::Formatters::Transitive.new( indent, ie_hack )

Fix: -if trans; +if transitive

This is an old bug that was fixed in 1.8 but not in 1.9, on which we are based upon. The fix was recently brought in Ruby trunk and should be fixed after the upcoming sync.

Should be fixed in trunk, closing.
