I tried to create a ticket for this, but it seems like one needs some special privileges to do that, so...
I've this problem where globalize throws an exception in one of my views. I found that the reason for that is a boolean value (instead of string) in default Rails locale file.
Default english locale file activesupport-2.2.2\lib\active_support\locale\en.yml contains sth like this:
# Used in array.to_sentence.
support:
array:
sentence_connector: "and"
skip_last_comma: false
Notice that the ''skip_last_comma'' value is not a string - it's a boolean.
Now, when to_sentence method in activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/core_ext/array/conversions.rb calls I18n.translate(:'support.array.skip_last_comma', :locale => options[:locale]) it fails in vendor/plugins/globalize2/lib/globalize/backend/static.rb:32:in 'interpolate' with:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.replace
Here's a full stack trace:
