Jruby yaml load issue with floats?

Try this with both MRI and Jruby 1.1.6 (with active support 2.2.2)

irb(main):004:0> require ‘rubygems’
=> true
irb(main):005:0> require ‘activesupport’
=> true
irb(main):006:0> YAML.load(YAML.dump(3.0)).eql?(3.0)
=> true

MRI returns true, while JRuby returns false !!!

The root cause is that JRuby is loading the yaml as
irb(main):021:0> YAML.load(YAML.dump(3.0))
=> #<YAML::PrivateType:0x18ad9a0 @value=“3.0”, @type_id=“tag:yaml.org,
2002:float:Float”>

instead of as 3.0

Has any bug been logged for this? I would have gone ahead and logged
it, but I am unable to register on codehaus :(. For some wierd reason,
I just can’t get thru their capta!!! (another bug???).

Would be great if someone could log this one as a bug or point me to
an already logged bug or otherwise explain this behaviour.

This should be fixed on trunk/1.2. Can you test out a nightly build?

Charles,

Its still an issue on the 1.2 nightly build.

Ahh, so it is. It’s something specific to running with ActiveSupport
present, because it works fine with normal Ruby.

I’ve filed it here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3423

Thank you!
