I have several programs that use REXML to generate XML documents.
Calling Document.write to output the XML document currently fails
and aborts execution with the following error message.
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:186:in `write':
undefined local variable or method `transitive' for
<UNDEFINED> ... </>:REXML::Document (NameError)
The API for write in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb
and in the documentation is
write( output=$stdout, indent=-1, trans=false, ie_hack=false )
But then on line 186 there is
if transitive
...
else
...
end
"if transitive" should be "if trans".
Here is the simple patch to fix this problem:
