Jbuilder gem standalone not rendering anything

Question

Jbuilder standalone will not render anything. Do I need a configuration parameter to get it to work in Rails 3.2.8?

1.9.2p320 :257 > Jbuilder
 => Jbuilder 
1.9.2p320 :258 > Jbuilder.new {|json| json.foo 'bar'}.target!
 => "{}"

Thanks a million.

UPDATE

The encode method works.

1.9.2p320 :016 > Jbuilder.encode {|json| json.foo 'bar'}
 => "{\"Foo\":\"bar\"}"

But I'd like to use nested Jbuilder objects to construct more complex JSON. The documentation says I should be able to get back a builder object and call target! to get the json string. I'm really quite stumped.

No, that's taken straight off if the rails console. When implemented in my models, it behaves the same. Just a blank JSON string. — Dave the Homunculus, Jan 02 '13 at 21:15

Oops. I was using the documenation on the Github, but using the version of the gem on rubygems.org

replacing:

gem 'jbuilder'

with:

gem 'jbuilder', :git => "https://github.com/rails/jbuilder.git", :tag => "v0.9.1"

in my Gemfile solved the problem.
