  • Chris Barnett
    Chris Barnett commented at 10:23 PM

    Looks like that commit may not have fixed the problem.

    See the attached patch, it just adds a "shared.html.erb~" file to actionpack's test fixtures, which cause...

429 Support for HTML Class String in options_for_select was updated in Ruby on Rails
  • Chris Barnett
    Chris Barnett commented at 7:54 AM
