ArgumentError on model create statement

Rails
1

I have a rails app model that I’m getting a strange error that is just
baffling me. I’ve stripped everything out of my model down to the
basics and still get the error.

So, here is the current model:

class Metric < ActiveRecord::Base
end

When I go into the console, and issue a simple “Metric.create” command I
get the following error:

Metric.create
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Any help? What am I missing and why does a simple create statement
through this ArgumentError?

Any plugins in that app that are extending activerecord ?

Thanks, but the plugins aren’t an issue. I found the problem.

I should have included my model attributes as well from the DB.

I had a DB column called “callback” which interfered with built-in AR
functionality.
