Ensure we stingify complex objects before sending it to ruby #309

Closed stoivo closed 4 years ago

stoivo commented 5 years ago

Continues work on #301

JQuery objects could not be stringified. It would trow a exception: TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON

The error example includes a Jquery element with DOM reference so it cant be stringyfied out of the box. toArray() on jquery elements is lossy but it works and I did need it to fix my errors.

fix #306

I will add a spec next time i have time to dedicate some time to this PR. Will be in touch.

Should I commit a minified version of jQuery?

slackersoft commented 5 years ago

We definitely don't want to include a version of jQuery inside Jasmine. It looks like your error message actually does say that the cause is a circular reference in the object being converted to JSON. The easiest "fix" (in the linked example above) is to just try/catch around the JSON.stringify call and return a string that indicates the circular reference. This would also solve the issue for users using other Javascript frameworks, not just jQuery.

Are you fine with dropping support for rails4 since it reached end of life?
