Bug #14617: rdoc crashes when expression contains embedded comment: no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError)

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-linux]
• Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: REQUIRED

RDoc might fail when comment is inside code, such as:

def meth
  variable # comment
    .chain
end

I was made aware of this issue via this bug 1 report, but it has been already reported 2 and fixed 3 upstream. Would be nice if this is fixed in RDoc shipped in Ruby.

$ rdoc -v
6.0.1

This bug is fixed. RDoc 6.0.2 was released two days ago. Please use it.

Sorry, I understand this issue's intention.

This issue should be assigned to @hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).
