I wanted to try out IronRuby running rails. I was following the http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Real_Ruby_Applications/Rails tutorial using the sqlite instructions.
I began writing my tests and found that I was not able to assign a object to a belongs to relationship and have it persist to the sqlite3 database correctly. On investigation I found that the sql being generated did not have the correct ID. It was using .inspect instead of the value of the ID for my object. Creation of the Post: Post Create (31.3ms) INSERT INTO "posts" ("name", "submitted_by", "phoned_in", "category_id", "completed_at", "created_at", "updated_at") VALUES('', '', NULL, 0, NULL, '2010-05-18 10:59:32', '2010-05-18 10:59:32') Looking up the category to assign: Category Create (0.0ms) INSERT INTO "categories" ("name", "created_at", "updated_at") VALUES('Cat 1', '2010-05-18 10:59:32', '2010-05-18 10:59:32') Assigning the post.category = category: Post Request Update (15.6ms) UPDATE "posts" SET "category_id" = '*--- !ruby/object:System::Int64 {}*', "updated_at" = '2010-05-18 10:59:32' WHERE "id" = '*--- !ruby/object:System::Int64 {}*' Loading the post back from the db. Post Load (0.0ms) SELECT * FROM "prayer_requests" WHERE ("prayer_requests"."id" = 1) Category Load (0.0ms) SELECT * FROM "categories" WHERE ("categories"."id" = 0) As you can see above the ID is never set correctly and since sqlite just jams strings into integer fields as 0 it tries to look up a category with an id of 0. I was wondering if anyone has seen things like this in ActiveRecord with IronRuby? I'm running. $ ir --version IronRuby 1.0.0.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.3607 $ ir -S gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** actionmailer (2.3.5) actionpack (2.3.5) activerecord (2.3.5) activerecord-sqlserver-adapter (2.3.5) activeresource (2.3.5) activesupport (2.3.5) rack (1.0.1) rails (2.3.5) rake (0.8.7) sqlite3-ironruby (0.1.1) If there is a better list to post to please let me know I'll redirect my question there.
