only field in MySQL returning as nil unless it is exactly
“00:00:00” (HH:MM:SS) as stored in a ‘time’ datatype.
Maybe there’s a bug in activerecord that translates “00:00:00” time to ruby nil value?
I’ve played around with various date/time formatting actions in the
controller, view, and model but I get a variation of the the following error:
If there’s a bug, it’s in activerecord, so extra code in controllers and view will not help. The best tool to start investigating this is invoke your script/console and play with your models from there. Like this:
record.mytime = time
record.save
record.reload
record.mytime
I’m using Netbeans 6.7 beta
It doesn’t matter what text editor or IDE are you using
Ruby ver. 1.8.6 and AR ver. 2.1.0
First thing that you should always do when you think you find a bug is to try doing the same thing with the newest version of ActiveRecord. If the buggy behavior is still present in that version, try freezing the latest 2-3-stable git branch in your application (it contains bugfixes made after the last 2.3.x stable version).
If the bug is still present, search for it in the issue tracker:
If you cannot find anything similar (either among open issues or resolved ones) then you have to report it. You can create a new ticket and describe your problem, but the best way is to prove the bug with some code — we call this a failing test case. To do this you have to clone the rails repository from git (if you don’t have it already) and study existing activerecord tests dealing with mysql-to-ruby type conversion. You can start by searching the “activerecord/test/” directory for “bonus_time”, because that is the only time column in the test schema.
