Unsupported field datatype: uuid

[chaekit]

I use postgres and active-record-postgis adapter

[tank-bohr]

Try to add

class RailsAdmin::Config::Fields::Types::Uuid < RailsAdmin::Config::Fields::Base
  RailsAdmin::Config::Fields::Types::register(self)
end

to your rails_admin initializer

It does not work for me :( It still cannot search by ID.

I tried on a brand new Rails 4.0.4, Ruby 2.1 and latest rails admin and seems to work for me

Adding the type for Uuid initially seemed to worked for me, but now when trying to create a model that "belongs_to" another (where the belongs_to id is a UUID) I'm getting an error from the DB: PG::InvalidTextRepresentation: ERROR: invalid input syntax for uuid: ""

It looks like the UUID is somehow being blanked out before being sent to the DB. Anyone been able to get this to work?

I'm using Rails 4.1 and Ruby 2.1

Nevermind, my mistake (I wasn't including data for a DB required field that happened to be a UUID, but the error isn't actually UUID related).

I can confirm this issue on Rails 4.1.4, Ruby 2.1.2 and PostgreSQL 9.3.4.2.

The error occurs in this project's code base: https://github.com/SexualHealthInnovations/PrivateResults

Running:

Happy to provide any other information that I can.

@tank-bohr 's solution worked for me for current version in master.

Rails 4.2.0.rc1, Postgresql.

@brain-geek Are you able to filter on uuid? I implemented @tank-bohr's fix and display works, but I cannot search or filter any of my uuid columns.

[horacix]

Thanks, the proposed solution works for other datatypes as well (Tested with SQL Server varchar)

[dkperson]

Thanks, I got this error after getting the 'Ahoy' gem, and the proposed solution fixed it!
