MariaDB and context serialization

[multiscan]

Hello,

on my app that uses mariadb as database, I get an exception in the 'errors#show' view because the occurrence object used as occurrence.context&.each (file: app/views/solid_errors/occurrences/_occurence.html.erb) which is supposed to be an Hash turns out to be a string. I fixed this by just adding serialize :context, coder: JSON in the Occurrence model definition but I am wandering if this is the correct way of doing it and why this is not necessary when using sqlite as proposed by default. Is there a better way to force json encoding into a column than the serialize directive ? I will now try to see if my added line brakes a newly created app with sqlite. If it does not, I will probably submit a PR (although it is just a one liner). Thank you very much for your comment. Best, giovanni
