expecting tASSOC in a Rails file

Question

I'm sure I've done something stupid here, but I just can't see it.

I call the breadcrumb method in the application view.

app/helpers/breadcrumbs_helper.rb says:

module BreadcrumbsHelper

  def breadcrumb
    @crumb_list = []
    drominay_crumb_builder
    project_crumb_builder
    content_tag(:div, :id => "breadcrumbs", @crumb_list.map { |list_item| crumb_builder(list_item) })
  end

  def crumb_builder(list_item)
    if list_item == @crumb_list.last
      content_tag(:span, list_item['body'], :class => list_item['crumb'])
    else
      body = ["list_item['body']", " → "].join
      link_to(body, list_item['url'], :class => list_item['crumb'])
    end
  end

  def drominay_crumb_builder
    list_item = Hash.new
    list_item['body'] = "Drominay"
    list_item['url'] = "root"
    @crumb_list << list_item
  end

  def project_crumb_builder
  end

end

Why oh why am I getting this "expecting tASSOC" error? (And what is a tASSOC anyway?)

Answer 1

It was because I had the arguments for content_tag in the wrong order.

Am still interested in knowing what a tASSOC is, however.

Answer 2

tASSOC means the => operator
