[Rails] Built in (boolean)? method

When creating a boolean attribute in ActiveRecord, you get a ? method for free. Sadly, it's returning false for a true value. Does anyone know what might be going on? >From my console (for_charity: true). Same behaviour on Rails 2.3.8 and 2.3.11 ruby-1.8.7-p302 > m.for_charity? => false ruby-1.8

Hmm, I wrote my replies assuming it was Rails 1.2.6. If your app's Gemfile has that info, it pretty much is Rails 3.0.3. In that case, try installing rvm, and then... rvm install 1.8.7 rvm install 1.8.6 Now you can experiment with both versions of ruby. To use a specific one, rvm use 1.8.7 (to
