Ticket #544 (closed enhancement: fixed)

Opened 4 years ago

Last modified 1 year ago

validation when saving serialized data

Reported by: anonymous Assigned to: David
Priority: normal Milestone: 1.1
Component: ActiveRecord Version: 1.1.0 RC1
Severity: normal Keywords: serialization serialize validation
Cc: bitsweat

Description

Assume I have the following model. 

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  serialize :lucky_numbers, Array
  validates_uniqueness_of :name
end

I can do the following 

Person.create({"name" => "pete", "lucky_numbers" => "1"})

But then when I try to do this 

b = Person.find_first("name = 'pete'")
b.lucky_numbers

I get a SerializationTypeMismatch Error. It would be nice for this error to be caught when creating the record, rather than when retrieving it.

I have a similar issue with serialize and validates_uniqueness_of

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

serialize :lucky_numbers, Array validates_uniqueness_of :lucky_numbers

end

fails to validates the uniqueness of the array. This problem occurs eve if you don't specify serialize implicitly and the value you are evaluating is an Array in nature.

In Rails 1.2, the issue seems to be resolved. 

Person.create({"name" => "pete", "lucky_numbers" => "1"})
ActiveRecord::SerializationTypeMismatch: lucky_numbers was supposed to be a Array, but was a Fixnum

Resolution should be set to fixed.

A test case will prove it either way so this can be resolved.
