Bug in #cycle

[Jesse]

Failing example (matching first arguments in #cycle) ---

%tbody
%tr
%td
- 1.upto(3) do |i|
%div(style="background-color: #{cycle '#abC', '#fff'};"
class="td")= i

%td
- 1.upto(3).each do |i|
%div(style="background-color: #{cycle '#abC', '#fff'};"
class="td")= i

Working example (differing first arguments in #cycle) ---

%tbody
%tr
%td
- 1.upto(3) do |i|
%div(style="background-color: #{cycle '#abC', '#fff'};"
class="td")= i

%td
- 1.upto(3).each do |i|
%div(style="background-color: #{cycle '#abc', '#fff'};"
class="td")= i

It also fails using css classes .odd & .even for the rows, and with
local string variables odd & even

(I realize that this may not be a haml bug, but I've gotten this far.)

Expected result

==
++
==

Actual result

=+
+=
=+

To get what you want, you probably need to use named cycles. See the
rails doc for cycle.

I suspect this problem has nothing to do with haml.

Haml has nothing to do with the cycle helper; that's entirely Rails.

Jesse..
You can just use css/sass.
.abc
  :background #abC
.white
  :background #fff

  - row_class = cycle("abc", "white")
 -for article in @articles
    %div{:class=>row_class}

Something like that...
But seriously that may not be the cause of the error.

Reading the documentation, a call to #reset_cycle is the solution.
Thanks.
