%textarea issue

[ar7hur]

%textarea
   =  @title 

compiles to

function (context) {
    var fn;
    fn = function(context) {
      var c, e, o;
      o = [];
      e = HAML.escape;
      c = HAML.cleanValue;
      o.push("<textarea>undefined</textarea>");
      return o.join("\n");
    };
    return fn.call(HAML.context(context));
  }

This only happens with textareas... any idea what's happening ?

Thanks for reporting. This is an issue when preserving the content of the textarea. To work around this bug, you can simply use

%textarea= @title

Thanks, the workaround works fine !

With the latest version, whitespace preservation for textarea and pre tags have evolved. According to the Ruby Haml documentation, automatic whitespace preservation only takes place if the assignment is on the same line like the tag:

%textarea= @title

whereas with

%textarea
  = @title

you have to take care of the preservation by yourself.
