I am getting this error when I run ruby doc with following command

rdoc -a -F -f html -S -N -o doc1  
…authenticated\_test\_helper.rb: m.

RDoc failure in  
vendor/plugins/acts\_as\_authenticated/generators/authenticated/te  
mplates/authenticated\_test\_helper.rb at or around line 113 column 4

Before reporting this, could you check that the file  
you’re documenting compiles cleanly–RDoc is not a  
full Ruby parser, and gets confused easily if fed  
invalid programs.

The internal error was:
