Deprecation warning with Rails 5.1.0.rc1

[spdawson]

The following code is in my model class.

attr_encrypted :blob

When I use the blob accessor method, the following appears in the Rails log.

DEPRECATION WARNING: blob is not an attribute known to Active Record. This behavior is deprecated and will be removed in the next version of Rails. If you'd like blob to be managed by Active Record, add attribute :blob to your class.

As suggested, adding

attribute :blob

to the model — immediately before the attr_encrypted call — silences the deprecation warning, and does not appear to impair the operation of the blob accessor method.

When I added attribute :blob it looks like it shows up in the Rails console. Everything still seems to work as intended, is there a way to tell the attribute that it's overridden?

irb(main):001:0> MyObj
=> MyObj(id: integer, encrypted_blob: string, encrypted_blob_iv: string, blob: )

want to turn this into a PR ? :)

I'm running into this as well on Rails 5.1.

@grosser What did you have in mind for a pull request? I'm not familiar with the codebase, but my first guess would be to do class_eval to define attribute :xyz where :xyz is the symbol passed to attr_encrypted. I'm not sure if that's the right solution or would have any negative side effects. Let me know how I can help.

[grosser]

something like #263 ;)

[codebycliff]

Perfect. Thank you!

When will be a new version of gem?

[danielwestendorf]

A new gem release to get this included would be 💯.

[mmahalwy]

Any update on this?

[szymonbaranowski]

Would appreciate a release as well!

[jasonperrone]

Those Deprecation warnings are very ugly. When will this make it to master?

[nguyenductung]
