Hi Colin, What Ruby and Rails versions are you using?
I'm able to use Symbol#size in a brand new Rails 5.1 application. Can you recreate the problem in a new Rails app? I suspect the #size method is missing in your application due to monkey patching Symbol in the app itself or one of its dependencies. -Geoff On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 8:54 AM, Colin Hart <epicur...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all! > > I just started working with a new company and have been trawling through > the codebase as you do.
