I agree with a followup to this post by Hampton in that it should not
have compiled due to the use of nested and "same-line" content.
The gist of the rest of the discussion was that running Haml under
JRuby was problematic when using blank lines.
I've experienced the same problem and had some partial success in
getting haml 1.7 to work under jruby 1.0.1 with a simple change.
In engine.rb, in do_precompile, on line 231, we have a line of code
that reads:
uline = line.lstrip[0...-1]
Jruby certainly seems to have a bug - this line returns nil with
passed a blank line.
Or more importantly the [...] operator returns nil for any empty
string - which is a difference to the 1.8.6 MRI implementation.
If I'm following the intention of that line then it's removing the
last character, which presumably is an EOL character.
When running under JRuby the EOL is (at least on my machine) 2
characters: "\r\n".
Changing the line as follows has the desired effect and avoids the
jruby bug.
uline = line.lstrip.chomp
I've no idea of the performance hit.
Given the use of [0...-1] using "chop" instead of "chomp" would be
more equivalent, but I went for the safer option.
As I mentioned above - it's only a partial success. I'm still
experiencing a few other problems which I've yet to investigate.
Cheers,
James.
