I have temporarily solved the problem (till I upgrade) with the following
code in one of my libraries
class ActiveRecord::Base
def assign_attributes(attributes)
attributes.each_pair { |k, v| send("#{k}=", v) if respond_to?("#{k}=")
} if attributes
end
end
If you see any issue with this in 3.0.5 then please provide feedback -
seems to work ok. I got this code from a posting in one of the forums.
Thanks,
-S
