Problems with parsing params for Active Record

Hi,

I have come into an odd problem that I couldn't figure out why. Basically, what I did is to save a record from the form, but there's some field that parsed to the active record returns as nil.

Example:

article = Article.new({"title"=>"halo world","content"=>"lorem ipsum", "tags"=>"test,article,fun","project_id"=>"1"}) #<Article id:nil, title: "halo world",content:"lorem ipsum", tags:nil, project_id:nil>

I don't understand why tags and project_id is nil, while I supplied my data.

My Migration Data

create_table :articles do |t|       t.string :title       t.text :tags       t.text :keyword       t.text :content       t.references :project end

I am running on ruby 1.8.6 entreprise and rails 2.3.5.

Have someone come across this before. Really need some advise.

Thanks

Are you using attr_protected anywhere (or are any plugins calling it on your models) ?

Thanks for reply Frederick.

Is a new project. I didn't use any plugins. More funny thing is I manually set the attributes without problem.

Example: article.project_id=1

It works. However, not for parsing by array. I have did a few project before, this is the first time encounter this funny issue. I try this on rails console too, it is the same result.

Hi Frederick,

How about :

article = Article.new(:title =>"halo world",:content=>"lorem ipsum", :tags=>"test,article,fun",:project_id=>"1")

This example can be found at ActiveRecord::Base

Did it worked out?

Hi Joao,

Is the same thing. Project ID and Tags leaves as nil for no reason.

Hi Joao,

Are there any warnings in the console ? This really does sound an awful lot like attr_protected or attr_accessible are being used without you knowing it.
