unable to use RABL

I am trying to use the RABL gem for JSON formatting, but even this simple basic example is not working.

Here is for instance a test method in the controller:

def test
    @test={:a=>"toto",:b=>"titi"}
    respond_to do |format|
        format.json  
    end
end

and here is the rabl

object @test
attributes :a,:b

The result is here:

[{"titi":{}},{"titi":{}}]

In fact, I've made several tries and the same type of result, just like if the filed name were not taken in account....

I wrote a blog post on this, explaining the issue, and how to get around it:

The developper solver my problem: RABL does not work with hash objects, only dotted object ( myObj.myField and not myObj[:myField]). The solution was to convert the hash into an OpenStruct object
