Handlebars: View methods not called

[apauly]

When using mustache, I can directly call methods from the View class inside of a template:

module Layouts
  class Application < ::Stache::Mustache::View
    def page_title
      "Test"
    end
  end
end

<h1>{{page_title}}</h1>

This results to:

<h1>Test</h1>

When using handlebars, this methods are not called:

module Layouts
  class Application < ::Stache::Handlebars::View
    def page_title
      "Test"
    end
  end
end

<h1>{{page_title}}</h1>

This results to:

<h1></h1>

The expected behaviour is to render the same as the mustache version.

Could I trouble you to write a failing test case for this? I'll take a look at it, but we do have a test that would seem to cover this case already:

https://github.com/agoragames/stache/blob/master/spec/controllers/handlebars_controller_spec.rb#L18
https://github.com/agoragames/stache/blob/master/spec/dummy/lib/wrapper/handlebars/with_wrapper.rb

I'll try to reproduce on my own time soon, too, but with a failing test that will happen more quickly :). Cheers!

I've been digging a bit through the sources of stache and handlebars. It seems that handlebars-0.5.0 does not implement "helperMissing".

I was using stache v1.0.3 with Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9.3.

However, when I try to use version '0.4.0' with handlebars 0.4.0 I am getting an exception cannot load such file -- v8/init. Still trying to resovle the issue...

@czarneckid definitely looks like it could be. I'll have to look at handlebars-0.5.0 this weekend.

Ran into this today. It's a regression in Handlebars 1.3.0. Handlebars.rb would need to be updated to the 2.0 handlebars-source gem.
