syntax error on rails 3.0/raby 1.9?

[papayaah]

On this block specifically both on the when clause.

def make_option name, value, type=:string
"--#{name.gsub('_', '-')} " + case type
when :boolean: ""
when :numeric: value.to_s
else "'#{value}'"
end + " "
end

this syntax is incompatible with ruby 1.9

you need to explicitly replace the last colon with a then like:

    when :boolean then ""
    when :numeric then value.to_s
