OrderedHash#shift should return nil when empty
Reported by Grant Rodgers | March 26th, 2009 @ 02:58 AM | in 3.x
Prior to 2.3, OrderedHash#shift returned nil when empty. In 2.3 it returns [nil, nil]. Hash#shift returns nil in 1.8 and 1.9, so OrderedHash#shift should also.
This bug causes an infinite loop in this idiom:
groups = foo.group_by(&:bar)
while group = groups.shift do
# stuff
end

Nice catch!
I personally would rather see the the test for this bug extracted in a separate test, that way the intention of the test is apparent for future developers.
def test_shift_returns_nil_when_empty while !@ordered_hash.empty? @ordered_hash.shift end assert_nil @ordered_hash.shift end -

Agreed, I stuffed it into the existing test because it looked like the convention was one test per method. Updated patch attached.
