scafffold, 1st column value is wrong

Reported by Horace Ho | December 8th, 2008 @ 08:10 AM | in 2.x

1 create a project

2 script/generate scaffold Phone type:string maker:string

3 rake db:migrate

4 open http://localhost:3000/phones in a browser enter "Smart" in Type, and "Apple" and Maker, click create http://localhost:3000/phones/1 will show

Phone was successfully created. Type: Phone Maker: Apple

  • notice the Type: Phone should be Type: Smart

The 1st column value (wrongly) shows the scaffold model name.

    • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

    Type is a "magic" column for activerecord, used for single table inheritance (and slightly magic for ruby too, since Object#type is a deprecated alias for Object#class). With single table inheritance the type column is used for storing what the class of the object is so what you are seeing is normal.

    Pick a different column name or use set_inheritance_column to tell activerecord not to use the type column for this purpose
