What exactly are you trying to achieve with this approach, why do you need to have the second attr not in the database and validated?
To answer your question, yes you can force it to be a boolean, by creating your own accessor methods
Instead of attr_accessor :attrvalue
def attrvalue
@value
end
def attrvalue=(new_value)
if new_value == "true"
@value = true
else
@value = false
end
end

I have a model with a boolean variable in the database and one added by attr_accessor:
In the model:
attr_accessor :attrvalue
validates(:dbvalue, inclusion: { in: [true, false], message: "%{value} is not a valid response"} )
validates(:attrvalue, inclusion: { in: [true, false], message: "%{value} is not a valid response"} )
In the view:
<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
<%= f.select :dbvalue, {'' => nil, 'Yes' => true, 'No' => false}, {}, { :class => 'span1' } %>
<%= f.select :attrvalue, {'' => nil, 'Yes' => true, 'No' => false}, {}, { :class => 'span1' } %>
<% end %>
The dbvalue works, the attrvalue does not work and always throws the message attrvalue is not a valid response.
I assume that attrvalue is not a boolean. Can I force it to be a boolean? Alternately, is there another way to handle it?
