@reidmorrison Can you merge this PR? This fixes the method name conflict with the newer version of rails.

Hey @reidmorrison Any chance that you have sometime to merge this PR. This PR fixes the method name conflict with rails 7. Let me know if you need any help with this. Thanks.

[reidmorrison]

Unfortunately, this is a breaking change which means we need a new major release to implement it. I know it will break our applications that use this method.

[reidmorrison]

Ok, figured out a solution. With Rails 7, it now removes the old attributes_encrypted approach entirely.

    # Remove old way of defining attributes with Rails 7 since it conflicts with the method names.
    if ActiveRecord.version <= Gem::Version.new("7.0.0")
      ActiveRecord::Base.include(SymmetricEncryption::ActiveRecord::AttrEncrypted)
    end

So for Rails 7 and above we need to upgrade to the new Active Record Attributes API. See https://encryption.rocketjob.io/frameworks.html

This change is in v4.5.0. Let me know if this works for you?

[reidmorrison]

Please re-open if the change above does not address the issue.

with v4.5.0, I am still getting method_missing': undefined methodattr_encrypted. I use Rails 7.0.1 with symmetric-encryption v4.5.0. Is there any workaround here? I have used it as below attr_encrypted :authentication_token in my User model.

[reidmorrison]

Correct, attr_encrypted is no longer available when using Rails 7. The newer approach is documented here: https://encryption.rocketjob.io/frameworks.html.
