[ruby-core:73956] [Ruby trunk Bug#12105] JSON.pretty_generate throws a TypeError when there is a BigDecimal object as a value

Issue #12105 has been updated by Adnan Abdulally.


Not sure if this is an active support error or a ruby error. if i try to create the hash regularly, it works fine:

[19] pry(main)> hash.to_json
=> "{\"x\":50.0}"

----------------------------------------
As the title states, JSON.pretty_generate throws a TypeError when there is a BigDecimal object as a value. This used to work in ruby 2.0 before upgrading in development. I havent tested to see how far back in ruby versions the error goes. 

Example console log of how to replicate:

`
[17] pry(main)> hash = {"x" => BigDecimal('50.0')}
=> {"x"=>#<BigDecimal:1befe50,'0.5E2',9(18)>}
[18] pry(main)> JSON.pretty_generate(hash)
TypeError: wrong argument type Float (expected String)

`
