Erubi superclass mismatch

[dguettler]

Error description

Attempting to run a Rails application with better_errors 2.3.0 which has a dependency to erubi (instead of erubis as in 2.2.0) results in the following error

.bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/haml-5.0.2/lib/haml/helpers/safe_erubi_template.rb:5: warning: toplevel constant Erubi referenced by ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi
rails aborted!

Configuration

• rails 5.0.5
• haml 5.0.2
• haml-rails 1.0.0
• better_errors 2.3.0

I get this error in Rails 4 as well.

• haml 5.0.2
• better_errors 2.3.0
• hame-rails 1.0.0
• rails 4.2.8

Removing better_errors avoid the problem.

better_errors 2.3.0 adds a dependency on erubi. This can be reproduced by adding erubi to the Gemfile, regardless of whether better_errors is in the Gemfile.

Once Erubis has been added to the bundle, haml chooses Erubi. In rails 5.0.5, the exception occurs on the class declaration line of lib/haml/helpers/safe_erubi_template.rb:

module Haml
  class ErubiTemplateHandler < ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi

ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi is a very mysterious object, but it seems to be a pure reference to the Erubi module, which also explains the warning:

> Where.is(ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi)
(pry):1: warning: toplevel constant Erubi referenced by ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi
=> ["/usr/local/var/rbenv/versions/2.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/erubi-1.6.1/lib/erubi.rb", 24]

I can find no direct declaration of ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi in actionview, erubi, haml, or haml-rails. But according to that, it is a copy of Erubi and has no other methods.

[RobinDaugherty]

I've narrowed it down a bit: any constant referenced under ActionView::Template's namespace causes a reference to that constant in the root namespace:

> ActionView::Template::Erubi
(eval):1: warning: toplevel constant Erubi referenced by ActionView::Template::Erubi
> ActionView::Template::ActionView
(eval):1: warning: toplevel constant ActionView referenced by ActionView::Template::ActionView

> defined? ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::Erubi
=> "expression"
> defined? ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::sdfsdf
=> nil
> defined? ActionView::Template::Handlers::ERB::ActionView
=> "constant"

I've opened #948 to fix this.

[dguettler]

Thanks for tracing this down, sounds like you had a bit of fun there.

I had this problem also and fixed gem Better Errors to 2.2.0.
But today my app broke again with the same error.
This time the cause is i18n-tasks 0.9.17! Fixing this to 0.9.16 is a workaround.

Hope this helps somebody.

Seems to work fine with Better Errors 2.2.0. Thanks!

I want people in this issue to test latest master branch of Haml including #948. Thanks!

[k0kubun]

Sorry for early merge, but could you guys try master including #952?

[dguettler]

Works for me! Thank you.
