The preprocessing functionality in Erubis is a little brittle. It relies on custom implementations of helpers like link_to which can be evaluated outsite the context of a request / response and statically be copied into the template source. It's kind of a neat trick, but it won't work out of the box with rails 3 unless the erubis lib gets updated or other people ship alternative erubis compilers which do that kind of thing. In reality, the use of erubis in rails 3 wasn't for performance gains (which were relatively minor) but because it's a much nicer API to extend and write our own customisations to the rendering phase. Specifically building the XSS-escaping was quite trivial to do with erubis but was a huge amount of monkeypatching when I first tried in with erb. Don't expect magical performance gains or anything, it's just a nicer upstream gem for us to use :). -- Cheers Koz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
