TinyMCE::Configuration#to_json adds a trailing comma (breaks IE6)

Reported by Adam B | February 19th, 2010 @ 07:55 AM

Installed 2010-02-18.

using <%= include_tiny_mce_if_need %> with no custom configuration options renders the call to tinyMCE.init like this:

<script src="/javascripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js?1266514020" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
tinyMCE.init({
editor_selector : 'mceEditor',
language : 'en',
mode : 'textareas',
theme : 'simple',

});
//]]>
</script>

Which breaks IE6 due to the trailing comma inside the object that is passed to tinyMCE.init. I fixed it for myself by replacing this:

json_options += @raw_options unless @raw_options.blank?
json_options << raw_options unless raw_options.blank?

with this:

json_options += @raw_options unless (@raw_options.blank? || (@raw_options.size == 1 && @raw_options.first.chomp === ''))
json_options << raw_options unless (raw_options.blank? || raw_options.nil? || raw_options.empty?)

The problem is that @raw_options is [''], so in the code's original form, the empty string is appended to json_options, and so the extra comma is always inserted.

    test/test_helper.rb makes a call out to a file that's not in the git repo:

    require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../../../test/test_helper")
    

    Is there anything significant in that file? I'm having trouble running the tests (failed "require"s, uninitialized constants). Which version of ActionView is the test suite looking for?

    Looks like it may be a pre-Rails 2.3 bug. I can't reproduce in 2.3.5 and I can't test in 2.1.2 (ActiveSupport 2.1.2 doesn't define the test "name of test" do; ...; end idiom). Making the test_suite runnable in 2.1.2 looks like more work than I can justify right now, and probably isn't worth it in the long run.

    The patch you linked to works fine and is cleaner than my original suggestion. I'm in prototype mode right now, anyways. If we end up pushing tiny_mce to production, I'll take the time to patch and figure out my testing woes so I won't get bitten in the future.

    Thanks for your help,
    Adam
