Something change in Rails 2.3.2 since 2.1.2, and I'm not sure what, or how to handle it. | |
Watch how the 'role' column (which the below shows that it is a private method, even though | |
it's just a column in the users table) gets handled by the different versions. | |
Rails 2.3.2 throws an error when first getting it, 2.1.2 doesn't. | |
Both update their classes to show that its not a private method after it has been set once! | |
