You have not told us which is line 24, but I assume it is the one above, in which case roles_plugin_hash is nil. > role_plugin_hash.nil? ? false : (role_plugin_hash.include? nil) ? > true : (role_plugin_hash & FedenaPlugin.accessible_plugins).present? ? > true : false That is horrible. A classic case of saving a few lines of code and making it difficult to understand what the code is doing. I just hope your automated tests check all the possible conditions on this.
