Question

There are a number of examples on the Web (such as http://techoctave.com/c7/posts/32-create-an-rss-feed-in-rails) showing how to make a nice RSS feed using Builder. The canonical template is something like this:

xml.instruct! :xml, :version => "1.0" 
xml.rss :version => "2.0" do
xml.channel do
  xml.title "Your Blog Title"
  xml.description "A blog about software and chocolate"
  xml.link posts_url

  for post in @posts
    xml.item do
      xml.title post.title
      xml.description post.content
      xml.pubDate post.posted_at.to_s(:rfc822)
      xml.link post_url(post)
      xml.guid post_url(post)
    end
  end
end

This works fine in Rails 3.0.7. In Rails 3.1 Edge, every command seems to produce...

Rendered home/index.rss.builder (25.2ms)
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 875ms

ActionView::Template::Error (wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)):
1: xml.instruct!(:xml, :encoding => "UTF-8")
2: 
3: xml.rss :version => "2.0" do
4:   xml.channel do
app/views/home/index.rss.builder:1:in   `_app_views_home_index_rss_builder___2123990471_2215695900 
app/controllers/home_controller.rb:17:in `index 
app/controllers/home_controller.rb:11:in `index

Rails 3.1.0.rc1 broke for me with this bug too, but only when using Ruby 1.8.7 - turns out it s a problem with .instruct!

As a temporary solution you could monkeypatch xchar.rb with the following (as suggested by the author of this post http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers/2010-June/005411.html):

       end
     else
       def _escape(text)
-        text.to_xs((@encoding !=  utf-8  or $KCODE !=  UTF8 ))
+        begin
+   text.to_xs((@encoding !=  utf-8  or $KCODE !=  UTF8 ))
+        rescue
+   text.to_xs()
+        end
       end
     end

Answer 2

You will also get this error if you have both Builder 3.0 and fast_xs 0.8.0 installed (note that hpricot bundles fast_xs 0.8.0 also)

You can work around this with the following monkey patch in application.rb:

class String
  alias_method :orig_fast_xs, :fast_xs
  def fast_xs(ignore)
    orig_fast_xs
  end
end
