  • Importance changed from “” to “Low”

  Hi Paul,

  I have tested this myself and can't seem to replicate the issue, are you able to create a failing test case to confirm the issue.

  Thanks,

  J

  Sure...but I' not sure how to prep one. I have my own application with specs and tests and I can repeatedly produce this result...is there a standard way of submitting a complete reproduction test?

  ...worked out a sample

  rails new sample

  cd sample

  rails console

  '"'.to_json # => ""\""" '"'.to_json == '"' # => false

  Sorry...forgot this was markdown

  # rails new sample
  # cd sample
  # rails console
  

  > '"'.to_json                     # => "\"\\\"\""
  > '"'.to_json == '\"'             # => false

  Rechecking my logic '"'.to_json should == '"\""'. Not sure where the &quote; thing is coming from. Must be from another gem.

  • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

  Hi Paul,

  I am closing this issue as invalid as I can not replicate it. I think the problem you are having is that you are relying on the console output and not puts. The console/irb uses inspect while puts will escape things correctly. eg.

  '"'.to_json
  => "\"\\\"\""
  
  puts '"'.to_json
  "\""
  

  I have tested encoding and decoding strings using ActiveSupport::JSON and Yajl separately but both work perfectly.

  s = 'here is a famous quote : "I got 99 problems but my json aint one"'
  => "here is a famous quote : \"I got 99 problems but my json aint one\""
  
  puts s
  here is a famous quote : "I got 99 problems but my json aint one"
  
  json = Yajl::Encoder.encode s
  => "\"here is a famous quote : \\\"I got 99 problems but my json aint one\\\"\""
  
  puts json
  "here is a famous quote : \"I got 99 problems but my json aint one\""
  
  Yajl::Parser.parse json
  => "here is a famous quote : \"I got 99 problems but my json aint one\""
  
  puts Yajl::Parser.parse json
  here is a famous quote : "I got 99 problems but my json aint one"
  

  Please reopen this ticket if you can replicate the issue in a failing testcase.

  Thanks,

  Josh
