Rails 2.1

[szich]

Has anyone had any luck using RFPDF with Rails 2.1?

It looks like the way Rails renders templates has changed in a way
that RFPDF is no longer compatible with.

My experiences so far:

1) After the initial update to Rails 2.1 I couldn't even run my
tests. I received:
undefined method `register_template_handler' for
ActionView::Base:Class

I then updated the code so it properly referenced the method:
ActionView::Template::register_template_handler 'rfpdf', RFPDF::View

2) Next I got:
undefined method `compilable?' for #<RFPDF::View:0x4ae8540>

so I added (to the View class):
def self.compilable?
false
end

def compilable?
self.class.compilable?
end


3) Finally I received:
can't convert ActionView::Template into String

I'm going to keep working on this, but I thought I check and see if
anyone has already worked out the details.

Cheers

I've gotten it working on Rails 2.1. As soon as I get up to speed
with git I'll submit a patch.

Quick simple fixes for it to work before Steve's patch gets pulled on
github:

init.rb:

ActionView::Base::register_template_handler 'rfpdf', RFPDF::View

should be

ActionView::Template::register_template_handler 'rfpdf', RFPDF::View

then in lib/rfpdf/view.rb:

change line 69 from

ERB.new(template).result(binding)

to

ERB.new(template.source).result(binding)

and add these methods:

def self.compilable?
false
end

def compilable?
self.class.compilable?
end

This works for me in 2.1, but I have a pretty old version of the
plugin so YMMV.

Steve, thanks!! This works with my project. Really great.

Maybe you can submit the patch I wrote in my post of december 30th,
2007 to get inline-rendering working as well. It's just an one colon
change.....

Hi Ed,

Just tested your new upload. Everything works fine! Even better, as
with skipping the precision_round function I got rid of my RCov stack
error as well. Thanks
