#940 Databases.rake does not find 'encoding' var correctly - Ruby on Rails

science

Tag changed from 2.1, config, database.yml, databases.rake, encoding to 2.1, bug, config, database.yml, databases.rake, encoding

In case anyone else is running into this, here's a monkey patch which can be included in environment.rb that seems to resolve the problem for now (I basically just symbolize the option keys before the actual method sees them):

{{{ class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::PostgreSQLAdapter old_create_database = self.instance_method(:create_database) define_method(:create_database) do |name, *args|

args[0] = (args[0] || {}).symbolize_keys
old_create_database.bind(self).call(name, *args)

end end }}}

Oh goodness - lighthouse uses different tags from trac - sorry about that. Here's that code block for environment.rb again:


class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::PostgreSQLAdapter
  old_create_database = self.instance_method(:create_database)
  define_method(:create_database) do |name, *args|
    args[0] = (args[0] || {}).symbolize_keys
    old_create_database.bind(self).call(name, *args)
  end
end

This is a mess. Sorry - to late at night. The code above is for the related ticket: http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/p...

The correct patch in environment.rb (below the regular Initializer section) to work around this problem is:


Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  # this works around a bug in databases.rake: http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/940-databasesrake-does-not-find-encoding-var-correctly#ticket-940-1
  # databases.rake will use an env var in place of encoding value
  ENV['CHARSET'] = config.database_configuration[RAILS_ENV]["encoding"]
end
