Rails 3.2.1: calling the undefined method causes the validation to be validated for 30 seconds

Question

I am updating my application from 3.0.9 to 3.2.1 (ruby 1.9.3-p0, rvm, bundler), and one thing that I could not find yet is the problem. I have a controller specification (in spec / controllers) that displays views for each example. The template that it creates can have any undefined method (for example, calling "- blahblah" in haml), and this makes the test hang for more than 30 seconds. Here is the error:

undefined local variable or method `blahblahblah' for #<#<Class:0x007fa84f76cc90>:0x007fa849c578c8> 

I started the debugger, and the freeze occurred while trying to register an error. This happens in activesupport-3.2.1/lib/active_support/notifications/instrumenter.rb line 22 . So is it a Rails error, a Haml error, or some other library?

Here is my Gemfile just in case, if something I use might be a problem:

I found the answer to this question in the Rails tracker on Github (it still remains an open error). The problem was that when an error occurred, an instance of ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet , which, apparently, caused the object to check every item on which it was held. So, the more RouteSet, the longer #inspect . Here is the fix:

 module ActionDispatch module Routing class RouteSet alias inspect to_s end end end 

For more error information, see here .
