Script.aculo.us helpers "drop_receiving_element" and "sortable_element" broken in Rails 2.1.0
Reported by Mark Myers | June 22nd, 2008 @ 08:05 PM
Script.aculo.us helpers "drop_receiving_element" and
"sortable_element" calling against a nil object and returning a
NoMethodError exception.
I have tested this same code on Rails 1.2.6 and it works successfully.
Example view code 1:
<%= draggable_element :dragit %>
<%= drop_receiving_element :dropHelperDIV, :hoverclass => 'hover' %>
Error "NoMethodError":
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

- Tag cleared.
I have essentially the same problem. If I do the following in a view:
Drop Here<%= drop_receiving_element_js :dropTest, :hoverclass => "hover" %>
I get the
"You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]"
error. I can create this error consistently using Rails 2.1.0, ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.5, running on a win32 platform using mongrel.

Same problem using rails 2.1.0 with mongrel on OS X 10.5.4, Ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114)...
And also using rails 2.1.0 with mongrel on Gentoo with ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114).
