What's the matter with merb 0.9.8?

[Tricheco]

On Mac and Linux:

$ merb-gen app test
$ cd test
$ rake --tasks
(in /Users/user/Development/Ruby/Merb/0.9.8/test)
Logging to #<IO:0x2f7d8>
rake aborted!
can't convert IO into String
/Users/user/Development/Ruby/Merb/0.9.8/test/rakefile:12
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Ok I solved this myself a few minutes ago (actually setting :log_file
to nil activate log to stdout my favorite solution for development),
but autotest and spec still don't work. I'm downgrading to 0.9.7 maybe
they missed out something in the gem distribution maybe?

How exactly they "do not work"? RSpec > 1.1.4 does not yet work well with Merb,
it's a known problem.

Merb 0.9.8 is not backwards compatible so keep that in mind.

I've just done the same thing a couple minutes ago,
tracking into source code to find out what's wrong with it.

I notice that in merb-core.rb: 497

def load_config(options = {})
Merb::Config.setup({ :log_file => STDOUT, :log_level
=> :warn, :log_auto_flush => true }.merge(options))
Merb::BootLoader::Logger.run
end

Here Merb make default :log_file to be STDOUT,
which is an IO instance, and in merb-core/bootloader.rb: 294

Merb::Config[:log_stream] = File.open(Merb::Config[:log_file], "w
+") if Merb::Config[:log_file]

It suppose :log_file should refer a String, not an IO.

Correct. I fixed it earlier today.

rake spec throws an error and autotest just hangs.

I knew that.

But I didn't know this one.

Thank you.

What that error says?
