Pavling, Thanks for the comment. If I understand it, though, I don't believe that's what's going on here.
I am not redefining the after_initialize method, just using it to add a callback into the object creation stream. This is pretty standard. But when the validation test is run, it seems the attribute methods suddenly go missing. I spent several hours trying to trace this in the debugger, but I found myself in a deeply-nested call stack of AR code and could not tell what was going on. I decided to create a whole new minimal Rails app to see if I could reproduce it. That's what this silly greeting app is all about. I've posted all the code in the entire app: just a migration, a simple model class, a fixture, and a unit test. That's why I think it might be a Rails bug, but I wanted to run it by the gurus here. Hope this this helps. Regards, Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
