Question

I have record in my db that is a boolean field (true/false).

The field is archived. When archived is true all these work great to output true:

  Rails.logger.info @commentable.archived
  Rails.logger.info @commentable.archived?
  Rails.logger.info !!@commentable.archived?

BUT when the archived is false, it outputs nothing for either of the above. How can I get an output of false when the field is FALSE?

Thanks

Try .to_s on the field?

irb(main):001:0> false.to_s
=> "false"
irb(main):002:0> true.to_s
=> "true"
irb(main):003:0>
