Problem with boolean required default value

[lephyrius]

I have this code:

require 'beefcake'

class TestFalse
  include Beefcake::Message
  required :processed, :bool, 1, default: false

end

class TestTrue
  include Beefcake::Message
  required :processed, :bool, 1, default: true

end

puts TestTrue.new.encode

puts TestFalse.new.encode

This results in both getting: Beefcake::Message::RequiredFieldNotSetError: Field processed is required but nil They should just store the default value true and false.

This is expected behavior. Default values are used when de-serializing an optional field. See https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto#optional
