I can confirm that this is

1. indeed an issue and
2. a viable fix.

The situation is similar when running rake assets:precompile.

@jspooner Thanks for sharing!

Is this repo still alive? 🤔

[joelmoss]

No sorry. Use Rails ActiveRecord enums instead.

No sorry. Use Rails ActiveRecord enums instead.

Well, AR enum doesn't offer bit masks features as far as I know 🤔

So, for example, having 2 roles admin and manager, U would generate enum like

enum {
  admin: 0,
  manager: 1,
  admin_and_manager: 2
}

Like that? 🤔Right?

Use active_flag gem instead.
