Whitespace in inserted textareas

[jmuheim]

There's always some whitespace in textareas that were inserted using cocoon. How can I prevent this?

<textarea class="text optional form-control pastable" placeholder="asdf" name="boilerplate[findings_attributes][1444981219987][screenshot]" id="boilerplate_findings_attributes_1444981219987_screenshot">    </textarea>

I am assuming you are using haml? Check this: http://haml.info/docs/yardoc/file.FAQ.html#q-preserve

Thanks, but how can the Haml::Helpers#find_and_preserve help with dynamically generated nested textareas (differentiated with some sort of dynamically generated child_index)?

[nathanvda]

Are you asking me for a technical explanation why it works, or are you stating that it does not help in your case? In that case it is maybe best to open a new issue?

Please note that the view is render server-side (only once), so it is unclear to me what you mean when you say "differentiated with a dynamically generated child-index", so imho you will be using javascript/callbacks to add that index, and in that case haml is no longer responsible for the added whitspace imho?

I may be confused, but It seems to me that Haml::Helpers#find_and_preserve is not a solution to the issue #323. Hence my question. Thanks.

Haml::Template.options[:ugly] = true or Haml::Template.options[:remove_whitespace] = true in config/initializers/haml.rb fixes it.

See haml/haml#643.
