There is no mention of @flash in the partial I’m using, but I’m still  
getting these warnings. Any idea how to get rid of them? Thank you.

Subject: DEPRECATION WARNING – fine, but I’m not doing that.

When I run my functional tests, I get (pasted from cygwin):

Started

And when I look at the file I have:  
------8\<----------------------------------------  
  
\<% if flash[:note] && ! flash[:note].empty? -%\>

Flash note:

\<%= h(flash[:note]) %\>
  
\<% end -%\>  
\<% if ! flash.keys.empty? -%\>  

Flash:

  

\<% flash.each\_pair{|k,v| %\>

\<%= k.to\_s + ":  
" + v.to\_s -%\>

  
\<%} %\>
  
\<% end %\>  
  
------8\<----------------------------------------

What @ signs? I’ve just taken them out. What’s the correct way to get  
rid of these warnings? I’m using the flash stuff for debugging at the  
moment,  
but nonetheless I’d like to do this right.

This is under Rails 1.2.3 on cygwin (with MySQL).

    Thank you,
    Hugh
