[Solved-ish] 500 error when creating new recurrence

[cashweaver-zz]

After installing the plugin about an hour ago I encountered a 500 error when trying to add a new recurrence. My error log (log/production.log) showed there was a syntax error: unexpected ':' pointed at the word 'partial' in the line I've included below. I changed the symbol syntax from

partial:

to

:partial =>

for the following line (2: {path to redmine}/plugins/recurring_tasks/app/views/recurring_tasks/new.html.erb).

<%= render partial: "form", locals: { next_step: 'create', rt: @recurring_task } %>

After my changes, the line looks like this:

<%= render :partial => "form", :locals => { :next_step => 'create', :rt => @recurring_task } %>

I also needed to update line 3 in edit.html.erb to read

<%= render :partial => "form", :locals => { :next_step => 'update', :rt => @recurring_task } %>

And restart apache (ubuntu12.04)

services apache2 restart

And the error disappeared.

I have minimal experience with Rails. The only thing I could think of was my local version of Rails didn't support the colon-after-symbol syntax. I wanted to publish this in case anyone else had my issue!

Thanks for the info, integrated into master. Hopefully this is the last place where I used that syntax.
