so, when I use this gem with the config.gem method it rails 2's environment.rb file, everything is fine. I can save and read encrypted attributes.
but when I use bundler (the preferred method =D), attr_encrypted suddenly isn't able to read or write any of the encrypted attributes to the database. There are no errors anywhere in the console / log / webpage.
any ideas?
The solution is to do:
gem "attr_encrypted", :require => nil
in the gemfile
and then do
require "attr_encrypted"
somewhere in environment.rb after Bundler
has required the other gems.
