Hi.
I want to serialize out an object to the database. But I am getting an
integer value in the column when I expect to see some yaml!
migration:
class CreateSummaries < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :summaries do |t|
t.text :summary_data
t.timestamps
end
end
end
class:
class Summary < ActiveRecord::Base
serialize :summary_data
end
example:
summary = Summary.new(:summary_data => User.first)
=> #<Summary id: nil, fss_player_id: nil, stats_type: nil, scope: nil,
summary_data: #<User id: 4, login: “LoginName”, email: “[email protected]”,
crypted_password: “cbc8411974ad085f608b6e0a05dd608e7577de19”, salt:
“ddc4528beea65095b7f5619912a6ca0681d0c10e”, created_at: “2008-09-12
18:43:19”, updated_at: “2009-02-05 04:20:58”, remember_token: nil,
remember_token_expires_at: nil, pw_reset_code: nil, role:
“commissioner”, sign_up_code:
“44e11a23be5b7833bf73d479a05166c0e0377c56”, reset_password_code_until:
nil, permalink: “fname”, name: “FName”, street: nil, city: nil,
province: nil, postcode: nil, country: nil, home_phone: nil,
mobile_phone: nil, display_name: “FName”, display_teams: true,
website: nil, occupation: nil, interests: nil, favourite_teams: nil,
anonymous_contact: false>, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
summary.save!
=> trueSummary.first.summary_data
=> 4
What am I doing wrong?
