Tidy Gem, Rails, Segfault, Pain

I’ve been dealing with Tidy gem issues for the last 48 hours, and look to have made my way out of the woods. Here’s a few things for whoever might google this (segmentation fault, ruby, rails, tidy, eval):

1. The old tidy gem, the one you’ve probably installed (version 1.1.2) is NOT maintained. This is a problem, because as structs in libtidy change, if the tidy gem isn’t updated to reflect those changes, segfaults happen.
2. DO NOT, FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER, USE 0 FOR FALSE. I know, this seems stupid, since in C, 0 is false. But it’s not in the library. Right. I know. Ridiculous. This mostly applies to the tidyopts, fwiw.

Anyways, I’ve put up a gem (and will maintain it, and comment here if you have issues) that has the necessary updates to work with the latest version of Tidy.
