PostGIS ActiveRecord Adapter not works

Question

I followed the setup link want to integrate PostGIS ActiveRecord Adapter into my project, my Rails project has installed postgis already by postgis-and-rails-a-simple-approach

I followed those steps to Working With Spatial Data

And launch Rails console

c = Spatial.new()

c.lonlat = 'POINT(-122,48)'

2.1.0 :004 > c
+----+--------+------------+------------+-------+------+------+-----+-----+
| id | lonlat | created_at | updated_at | shap1 | shp2 | path | lon | lat |

Answer 1

The link you provided shows a very similar example of what not to do, which is what you did.

That is, to provide invalid WKT :

record.lonlat = 'POINT(-122, 47)'

Which fails to parse, and silently sets the value to nil. (Valid WKT looks like POINT(-122 47) ).

The link describes a few alternative ways to construct a geometry, such as:

factory.point(-122, 47)
