Whatever I do I get a response page rendered like this: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G9KpqL6QGKE/UZ9afeLuFpI/AAAAAAAAABk/r5rITlX-kzc/s1600/rails_render.png> Every page is rendered with blank spaces. Even if I put HTML and ERB tags together inline: * * * * *## Not together inline, blank spaces are like on the picture above:* *<div>*
*<%= @foo %>* *</div>* *## Together inline, see the result lower:* *<div><%= @foo %></div>* *## Result from t**ogether inline. **Blank spaces exists either but now look like this:* *<div class="foo">* *""* *## see the difference? Two double quotes together, not with a space in-between. But anyway it is rendered!* *</div> * What I've learned so far: The text from Rails guide<http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-view> : *config.action_view.erb_trim_mode* gives the trim mode to be used by ERB. > It defaults to '-'. See the ERB documentation for more information. But at the same time they say<http://www.kuwata-lab.com/erubis/users-guide.05.html>that the Erubis is the default template engine in Rails, not ERB: NOTICE: Rails 3 adopts Erubis as default default engine. You don't need to > do anything at all when using Rails 3. This section is for Rails 2. And here is a code from * gems\actionpack-3.2.13\lib\action_view\template\handlers\erb.rb:* # Specify trim mode for the ERB compiler. Defaults to '-'. # See ERB documentation for suitable values. class_attribute :erb_trim_mode self.erb_trim_mode = '-' ### yes, trim mode is set by dafault. But it is nothing for Erubis. # Default implementation used. class_attribute :erb_implementation self.erb_implementation = Erubis ### yes, Erubis is instead of ERB self.class.erb_implementation.new( erb, :escape => (self.class.escape_whitelist.include? template.mime_type), :trim => (self.class.erb_trim_mode == "-") ### so :trim is true, just because self.erb_trim_mode = '-'. That's all. ).src` >From official Erubis docs: Erubis deletes spaces around '<% %>' automatically, while it leaves spaces > around '<%= %>'. > If you want leave spaces around '<% %>', add command-line property > '--trim=false'. > Or add option :trim=>false to Erubis::Eruby.new(). So it is obvious that :trim => (self.class.erb_trim_mode == "-") will never remove spaces around <%= %>. Because there is no option in Erubis for it. And this is exactly seen on the picture above. This line self.erb_implementation = Erubis informs that Rails implements Erubis instead of ERB. But as written above the only trim mode Erubis supports is around <% %> , just pass true or false only. So any experiments with true ERB options<http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/erb/rdoc/ERB.html#method-c-new>( *< % > -)* yields nothing. Because Erubis just doesn't support them. My question: How to get rid of those blank spaces without switching to Slim, Haml, etc? Why Rails say in their guide *See the ERB documentation for more information * if it means nothing for default Erubis? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
