Hello all. I am REALLY hoping someone can knock me upside the head with an answer to this because I’m flummoxed. I’m trying to get my project moved over to 2.0.2 from 1.2.6. I upgraded the Rails gem (and dependencies) successfully. rake:deprecated passed with no issues. I ran “rake rails:update”. Everything I think I’m supposed to do for the update. I’m getting the following error. It happens anywhere I’m outputting an html tag in my code. ArgumentError in Sessions#new Showing sessions/new.rhtml where line #3 raised: wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) Extracted source (around line #3): 1: \<% form\_tag sessions\_path, :id =\> ‘loginform’ do -%\> 2: Login 3: \<%= text\_field\_tag ‘login’, nil, :size =\> 50 %\> 4: 5: Password 6: \<%= password\_field\_tag ‘password’, nil, :size =\> 50 %\> Application Trace C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action\_view/ helpers/tag\_helper.rb:40:in `tag_options' C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_view/ helpers/tag_helper.rb:40:in`tag’ C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action\_view/ helpers/form\_tag\_helper.rb:114:in `text_field_tag' app/views/sessions/new.rhtml:3:in`\_run\_erb\_47app47views47sessions47new46rhtml’ app/views/sessions/new.rhtml:1:in `\_run\_erb\_47app47views47sessions47new46rhtml’ This form code is from Rick’s “restful\_authentication” plugin, with some minor personal tweaks but nothing that’d cause this issue. This same error occurs on “image\_tag”, “stylesheet\_tag”, etc. I don’t think I have any conflicting plugins installed. I’d have thought that if I did, they’d show up in the Application Trace output and this clearly shows it’s coming from the actionpack-2.0.2 gem. Anyone have any ideas. I’m at wits end on this. Thanx in advance. matte ---

Not necessarily: what the trace shows is that when tag\_options is called from actionpack on that lines, the number of parameters is not what was expected. Do you have a plugin redefining the method tag\_options somewhere ? Fred ---

I coulda had a V8 (man, that ages me. heh). Yeah. I’m too hasty to post. I shoulda searched. I’m still using the Unobtrusive Javascript plugin. They redefine tag\_options in their “lib/ tag\_helper\_patches.rb” file. Time to start working on my javascript code output. Thanx for giving me that knock upside the head. matte On Feb 4, 4:33 pm, Frederick C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Quick update. It’s like the “tag\_options” it’s trying to use is the actionpack-1.13.6 version, which only has 1 parameter instead of 2 like in actionpack-2.0.2 But I also uninstalled all rails code (including dependencies) from my computer, leaving only 2.0.2 rails gems and it still gives me the error. I’m about to try starting a brand new rails project and slowly port over my old project code into the new one but boy that sounds like more work than it’s worth. matte
