Enums being automatically set after update

[vitormd]

Problem:

Describe: Updating entities through rails_admin

Contexts:

• In version 1.3.0
• When there is an empty/null enum

It is wrongly updating the enum to the first possible value instead of letting it stay empty/null

There where some improvements on the way rails_admin deals with enum recently, and all seen good, but they generated this bug where it is updating enum values when is not wanted.

Rails version: 5.0.6

Ruby version 2.5.0

This problem is present when the database column is an integer. It might not be present if using Postgres ENUM field type.

If you declare your enum as a hash (not an array), and don't assign anything to 0, it works.

In my case enum recurrence: { daily: 0, weekly: 1, monthly: 2, annually: 3 } becomes enum recurrence: { daily: 1, weekly: 2, monthly: 3, annually: 4 }
