Overriding number_to_human (Rails 3.0.5)

[cipher_neo]

I encountered a problem today, in that the number_to_human helper has a defect where it spits out an error when passed any number bigger than 0 and less than 1. 

eg number_to_human(0.2) gives "nil can't be coerced into fixnum"

So, I found this patch:

https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/7c8a5f5759a0c63945d133280fb78deaa86b65b9

Now to apply it, I had to create a file: lib/number_helper_overrides and put the override code in there:

module ActionView

  module Helpers 

    module NumberHelper

      def number_to_human(number, options = {})

        #the code in here bla bla

      end

    end

  end

end

then in environment.rb I put:

require "number_helper_overrides"

Is this the proper way to override in rails 3?

If so, then should I really need to put the "require" statement into the environment.rb file? 

I already have the autoload path set to load file from the lib directory?

thanks, 

Lee

anyone?

Have you tried putting it in config/initializers/?  You won't need the require statement if you put it there.

 

thanks,
