Can not create model instance via params on specific model but can on others....

Anyone have an idea on this? Got a weird situation where on a specific model I can not create an instance using params, yet it works fine on other models. The model which does not work is a stock model, there is no logic in it. Ruby 1.8.7/Rails 3.0.5.

Does not work:

(rdb:1) PaymentTransaction.create(:purchase_id => 3) #<PaymentTransaction id: 2, purchase_id: nil, action: nil, amount: nil, success: nil, authorization: nil, message: nil, params: nil, created_at: “2011-04-27 18:18:59”, updated_at: “2011-04-27 18:18:59”>

But this works (but is ugly):

(rdb:1) bpt = PaymentTransaction.new #<PaymentTransaction id: nil, purchase_id: nil, action: nil, amount: nil, success: nil, authorization: nil, message: nil, params: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> (rdb:1) bpt.purchase_id = 3 3 (rdb:1) bpt.save true (rdb:1) PaymentTransaction.find_by_bet_id(3) #<PaymentTransaction id: 3, purchase_id: 3, action: nil, amount: nil, success: nil, authorization: nil, message: nil, params: nil, created_at: “2011-04-27 18:22:46”, updated_at: “2011-04-27 18:22:46”>

And this works:

(rdb:1) Team Team(id: integer, sport_id: integer, name: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime) (rdb:1) Team.create(:sport_id => 5, :name => ‘xxxx’) #<Team id: 1, sport_id: 5, name: “xxxx”, created_at: “2011-04-27 18:18:31”, updated_at: “2011-04-27 18:18:31”>

You don’t have something like:

attr_protected :puchase_id

in your PaymentTransaction model do you?

Ahhhh, duh, I have ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) in application.rb…

Right on, thanks!
