Tolk with protected_attributes gem

[ilkerinanc]

Hi,

I'm using Rails 4 and Ruby 2 and I'm also using protected_attributes gem in my Gemfile. That causes me the following error upon running rake tolk:sync :

NoMethodError: undefined method `to_sym' for nil:NilClass
/Users/ilker/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481/gems/tolk-1.5.1/lib/tolk/sync.rb:14:in `load_translations'

/Users/ilker/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>'

When I further dig down and run the Tolk::Locale.sync! in console I get the following:

Tolk::Locale Load (1.2ms)  SELECT "tolk_locales".* FROM "tolk_locales" WHERE "tolk_locales"."name" = 'en' LIMIT 1

Any ideas how to work around?

Any ideas anyone?

I think an initializer would help, with a class overload and deprotecting some attributes of the gem. I'm not using protected_attributes with tolk

Hi @ilkerinanc, I am unable to reproduce this issue myself. Do you still experience the problem with Tolk 1.6.0?

I just ran into something similar, for a quick work-around I added the following to an initializer:

Tolk::Locale.send(:attr_accessible, :name)
Tolk::Phrase.send(:attr_accessible, :key)

["phrase", "phrase_id", "locale", "locale_id", "text", "previous_text", "primary_updated"].each do |attr|
  Tolk::Translation.send(:attr_accessible, attr)
end

I'm using

• tolk (1.9.2)
• protected_attributes (1.0.8)
