array of hashes #13

Closed bduggan closed 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm seeing some issues trying to serialize an array of hashes:

thanks Brian

Never mind...I see that this construct is interpreted as a block rather than a hash. Sorry for the noise.

actually, what you're running into is that [ ] with just a single thing in it will iterate that thing ("single-argument rule"), so [ { a => 1, b => 2 } ] will always be a list of pairs.

You can get around that by spelling it like [ { a => 1, b => 2 }, ] with the trailing comma.

Cool, thanks!
