JSON encoding breaks when JSON gem is loaded before Active Support
Reported by Manfred Stienstra | March 10th, 2009 @ 04:32 PM | in 3.x
When you require JSON before Active Support certain methods defined by the JSON gem are overridden by Active Support. When this happens Active Support drops options hashes in the to_json methods instead of a Generator object like the JSON gem expects.
require 'rubygems'
require 'json'
require 'active_support'
p({'a' => 34.0}.to_json)
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.1/lib/active_support/json/encoding.rb:11:in `to_json': wrong argument type Hash (expected Data) (TypeError)

Seems like a fix/hack is to create an initializer containing just this: require 'json/add/rails'

Having a similar problem. Using Beta 3, with no other gems installed (including json_pure). Calling a simple .to_json on an array of ActiveRecord objects works fine, but as soon as I add any parameters (for example, .to_json(:only => ...)) I get the same "wrong argument type Hash (expected Data)" error. Exact same code worked perfectly in Rails 2.3.5

I am unable to find where in rails source code base a dependency on json_pure is defined. I know gemcutter has a dependency on json_pure.

Ok. Without json_pure rails edge is working fine for me.
Only when I incllude json_pure in Gemfile my test blows up.

I have the same problem with Rails 3 beta 4 & the json_pure gem.
The problem arises because cucumber depends on json_pure. Any suggestions?

I could remove the json_pure dependency from Cucumber (it is only needed when you use the wire-protocol, which most Rails people don't). However, this seems like the wrong solution.
active_support and json_pure need to figure out a way to coexist.

Works fine on Rails 3.0.0 RC.
ruby-1.8.7-p299 > require 'rubygems' => true ruby-1.8.7-p299 > require 'json' => true ruby-1.8.7-p299 > require 'active_support' => true ruby-1.8.7-p299 > p({'a' => 34.0}.to_json) "{\"a\":34.0}" => nil -

FWIW, Cucumber/Gherkin gems no longer depend on json_pure, but json instead.
