It's likely you're having an issue with the AR typecasting code; the
relevant bit is from schema_definitions.rb:
def value_to_boolean(value)
if value.is_a?(String) && value.blank?
nil
else
TRUE_VALUES.include?(value)
end
end
Essentially, anything that isn't blank and isn't "true-y" (see the
list in the source) gets mapped to false.
About the only way I can think of to avoid this is to override the
accessors for those variables and map everything that isn't true to
nil.
