boot.rb accidental assignment?

#2701

I am using Rails 2.3.2. with NetBeans IDE 6.5.1. The following message shows in the Task List Window.

Accidental assignment? (if x = y instead of x ==y) for boot.rb line 59

Looking at boot.rb:

    def load_rails_gem

  if version = self.class.gem_version
    gem 'rails', version
  else
    gem 'rails'
  end</code>

Should the if line be this?

      if version == self.class.gem_version

Thanks,
Tom

This is intentional, I guess.

Variable assignment is evaluated as expression, and have its
assigned value all the time. It seems there is no method named
version(), so useing == here will raise the NameError. A version
here is local variable to cache the result of
self.class.gem_version, and pass it to gem() method as second
argument if that is not nil (nor false).
