Hi All,
I have a column type of boolean, and when the value in that column is set to 'false' (eg. 0 for MySQL), it returns nil.
I have tested this in the console, and it doesn't exhibit this behavior there, only when running on Mongrel.
I tried wrapping the accessor call to intercept a nil and set it to false for that attribute, but it doesn't seem to be working. For Example:
def needs_sound #ActiveRecord uses method_missing to implement DB accessors, so we call super #to make it access the database. res = super if res == nil return false end return res end
The debugger says that 'res' is nil, but it ignores the conditional and returns 'res' anyway. I have tried the conditional as a 'res.nil?', 'res==nil', 'super == nil'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is occurring for all boolean attributes when their value is false. Thanks,
Chris
