Model attributes aren't being set

Question

The below log snippet shows the parameters that get passed in, but then when the SQL insert statement is made it inserts nulls for all the values instead of the values in params. Can you guys give me some ideas to debug this? I don't know where to start

Model:

class Cvit < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessor :species,:program,:textup,:e_value,:filter,:min_identity,:cluster_dist,:fileup_file_name
  attr_accessor :base_path, :fa_file, :text_file, :dbase, :source, :bl_file, :bl_sorted, :gff_file, :cvt_file, :db, :overlay_coords_gray

  def initilize(*args)
     super(*args)
  end

  def cvitSetup()
    .
    .
    .
  end
  def blast()
    .
    .
    .
  end
    .
    .
    .
end

Some example code might be good. Your question doesn't really make sense — Yule, Aug 05 '11 at 13:50

I don't know how this fixes things. attr_accessible keyword is used to allow mass assignment on certain fields, I don't know how it is helpful here. Usually, attr_accessible keyword is enough. – rookieRailer Aug 05 '11 at 17:38
Are you using nifty:scaffold ? – rookieRailer Aug 05 '11 at 17:40
