Boolean

You should be using an instance of Parse::Object not the actual class.

Right:

obj = Parse::Object.new("Post")
obj["foo"] = false
obj.save

Wrong:

obj = Parse::Object
obj["foo"] = false

I was oversimplifying my example. That is what I'm doing, here is the code that doesn't work:

special = Parse::Object.new "Specials"
special["is_regular_item"] = false
special.save

What part of that doesn't work? Can you paste the error? One possibility is that you've already saved that field in your Parse db with an object of a different type.

That's the thing, there is no error. The model saves fine on Parse, but when I retrieve it, the field isn't there. I'm actually not the owner of the API, but I know when I give it something like "false" it asks me for a boolean. I can ask him, what do you need from him?

The code that doesn't work and the resulting output.

Ok, for whatever reason, after I called the item directly set the boolean, then saved it, it worked fine, but it didn't work before I saved it. I'll just save it again after setting it

specials = Parse.get "Specials", "0934kj2"
specials["is_regular_item"] = false
specials.save

I tried this again with getting a new instance of the object, only changing the boolean field and saving it again and it doesn't work. It does work if I set it through cURL. I looked through the tests and I can't seem to find any that check for booleans. I don't know what else to provide, the API that the developer built works, but the gem doesn't seem to be pushing booleans to it correctly, at lest for me

Is this still a problem for you? If so, please re-open and I'll work with you to fix this. Thanks for reporting this in the first place.

I was using this as a proof of concept for someone; however, last I left it, yes, it was still not working. That being said, I'm no longer working on this concept, so I don't need it working

Alright, I'm going to leave this closed then. Thanks.
