recursive partial! not working

[pctj101]

Using ree 1.8.7 w/ jbuilder+patches from #4

Lets say we have a nested comment tree (think discussion forum)

Let say we have a file:

index.json.jbuilder

json.comments @comments do |json, comment|
json.partial! "example/comment", :comment => comment
end

Then we have _comment.json.jbilder

json.id comment.id
json.comment comment.text
json.replies comment.replies do |json, reply|
logger.info "Hello" # this prints
json.partial! "example/comment", :comment => reply # this is where we go "recursive"
logger.info "World" # program never makes it this far
end

Ruby 1.8 doesn't have block local variables, so if you use json as a variable name inside the block it will overwrite the parent instance - just been burnt by this myself. :-)

oh.... that makes sense... that makes it tougher to do recursive jbuilder with ruby 1.8.

I better start looking at 1.9 sometime I guess

I'd take a patch to the readme that explains this.
