Question

I have the following form parsial that I’m using in activeadmin on in a rails project running on heroku. Locally I’m using sqlite and the form works great.

    <%= semantic_form_for [:admin, @instagram_tag_search] do |f| %>

       <%= f.inputs do %>
            <%= f.input :name %>
            <%= f.input :active, :as => :boolean  %>
       <% end %>

       <%= f.buttons %>
    <% end %>

On heroku I get the following error

2012-09-03T16:01:23+00:00 app[web.1]: ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `active' for #<InstagramTagSearch:0x000000068893b0>):

It seems to me there is a difference in the way postgreSQL and sqlite handle the boolean / checkbox. Locally the value I am storing is a 1 or 0. I’m wondering what the simple fix is for this.

You should make sure you have run all the migrations on heroku. They normally aren’t run as part of a deploy/push.

heroku rake db:migrate
