NoMethod Error 'type_cast_from_database" - not processing date fields

[firefli-uk]

Hi There, thanks for all your efforts with this project, will save me a ton of time migrating. ;) ... I'm struggling with an error. I'm not a ruby user so would appreciate some help figuring it out seems like something is missing.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/mongify-1.3.0/lib/mongify/database/column.rb:249:intype_cast': undefined method type_cast_from_database' for #<ActiveRecord::Type::DateTime:0x007f95f46b1188> (NoMethodError)

I'm going from MySql to MongoDB. It appears to be any time the translation comes across a date field it doesn't know what to do with it. In Mysql the format is set to "Date" and then

Same thing happened to me, googled a bit and found that this method was renamed in recent version of RoR. Not a ruby developer too ) All we can do is wait for maintainer to fix it in code.

I managed a quick fix to get it working.

The issue is that the gemspec asks for activerecord > 4.2, so 5.0.0 probably gets installed, which is incompatible with mongify atm.

I manually installed activerecord 4.2, then installed mongify: $ gem uninstall activerecord $ gem install activerecord --version '4.2' $ gem install mongify

@GrahamW Thanks ! Thought about it myself, but was too lazy to google it ) Your solution is working.

But it will be great if maintainer will fix it for 5.0.0 which installs "by default".

Thanks @GrahamW and @Rikcon for pointing me in the right direction. It seems to be rather fussy with dependencies at the moment.

I followed @GrahamW instructions but then needed to install an older version of mysql2 gem to get it to work properly. I tried setting the adaptor in the config file back to 'mysql' didn't fix it immediately for me.

$ gem install mysql2 --version '0.3.18'

Thanks guys.
