Today morning I wake with this weird issue where mongoid was creating a record for the attributes which isn't being defined in the model
To overcome this i decide to implement attr_accessible also mention in Mongoid specification
"Providing a list of fields as accessible is simply the inverse of protecting them. Anything not defined as accessible will cause the error." -- Mongoid Specification
Think all would work fine I create a dummy record and too my surprise I got inserted as oppose to the statement above that
"Anything not defined as accessible will cause the error
Here my model structure
class PartPriceRecord
include Mongoid::Document
field :supplier_id,type: Integer
field :part_number,type: String
field :part_description, type: String
field :core_indicator,type: String

and Here the record I creating from my console
ruby-1.9.2-head :003 > PartPriceRecord.count()
=> 260317 ## initial count before creating a new record
ruby-1.9.2-head :004 > p1 = PartPriceRecord.new(:customer_id => "One",:part_number => "ASA",:supplier_id => "Supp")
=> #<PartPriceRecord _id: 4fa77921d2d8d60e39000002, _type: nil, supplier_id: "Supp", part_number: "ASA", part_description: nil, core_indicator: nil, us_part_price: nil, us_core_price: nil, us_fleet_price: nil, us_distributor_price: nil, ca_part_price: nil, ca_distributor_price: nil, ca_core_price: nil, ca_fleet_price: nil, basic_file_id: nil>
ruby-1.9.2-head :005 > p1.save
=> true ## Record got created
ruby-1.9.2-head :006 > PartPriceRecord.count()
=> 260318 ## Count indicating record was created
Any idea why is this so ?
Thanks
