Model using STI new function only working partially

Rails
1

Hi,
I have an application using STI on a model named Publisher. Publisher
uses STI via a column named “service”. When I call

p = Publisher.new(…, :service => “TwitterPublisher”)

the service does not get assigned, yet all other columns do. However,
if I later call

p[:service] = “TwitterPublisher”

all is well. Any ideas about what is going on? My environment is
Ruby 1.9/1.8.6 with Rails 2.3.5 running on MinGW(1.9) and Linux (1.8.6

  • on Heroku). Any idea as to what is going wrong?

Best Regards,
Solly

inheritance_column (service in this case) is automatically protected
against mass-assignment. If you examine your logs carefully, you
should see some messages about that.
