Question

The following code doesn’t work with Ruby 1.9.2:

def side_box(title, &block)
  render :layout => 'layouts/side_box', :locals => {:title => title} do 
    &block
  end
end

I am getting an error:

syntax error, unexpected tAMPER
&block

What has changed (since 1.8.7) for this not to work?

Answer 1

def side_box(title, &block)
  render :layout => 'layouts/side_box', :locals => {:title => title} do 
    yield
  end
end

or

def side_box(title, &block)
  render :layout => 'layouts/side_box', :locals => {:title => title} do 
    block.call
  end
end

It works in Ruby 1.9 and 1.8.
