NameError: undefined local variable or method 'transitive' in document.rb, line number 187

[msimbartl]

Hi,

we've switched to the new version of ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) with the current version of REXML 3.1.7 and looks like there is a bug in document.rb. Exception says: NameError: undefined local variable or method 'transitive' .

I took a closer look at the source code and the problem seems to be obvious.

Line number 187, file trunk/src/rexml/document.rb, current revision (1277) says:

 ...
if transitive
 ...

I believe it should be changed to:

 ...
if trans
 ...

since, at the line number 182, the method write() of the class Document is declared as:

def write( output=$stdout, indent=-1, trans=false, ie_hack=false )

Looks like this bug was introduced in revision 1256.

Hope I did not miss something.

Martin
