enums with jsonb_accessor and rails 7.1

We have an App using the jsonb_accessor gem.

As an example we use something like this in our project.

jsonb_accessor :user_data, gender: :string

enum gender: { male: 'male', female: 'female' }

After upgrading to Rails 7.1 (with this commit: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/6c5fab0668c1872fe827507f45ef400a20e8c646) we are getting an error:

Unknown enum attribute 'gender' for User (RuntimeError)

Does anyone have a similar problem and found a solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards, pabse

Solution

  • To complete this thread:

    This feature will be added to rails again with PR#49769

    You just have to declare the type before.

    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  attribute :topic, :string
  enum topic: %i[science tech engineering math]
end
