undefined method `html_safe' for # using recaptcha

Question

I'm getting this error on the line where I call recaptcha_tags

<%= recaptcha_tags( :public_key => 'XXXXXXYYYYYYYZZZ-ZXYXXZYZ' , :display=>{:theme=>"white" }) %>

I'm working with rails 2.3.10

how can I solve this error?

many thanks.

Answer 1

In Rails 2.3.x, html_safe is defined as a String class method in:

activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/output_safety.rb

Make sure that you have the proper active_support version (one matching your rails version).

Answer 2

Well i did what's specified here https://github.com/ambethia/recaptcha/issues/30 and worked out perfectly for me

Changing client_helper.rb line 39 to:
return (html.respond_to?(:html_safe) && html.html_safe) || html
fixes the issue.
