error when attempting to create record with "not required" field

[manu]

Yes ain't I the verbose one today :)

So I discovered today after much blood and tears that, even if a field is not required in my model, it will throw an exception if I try to create a new record where that particular field is empty (when I leave the text input empty on my form).

That seems strange, it can't be right, can it?

For now I have a horrible work around where I check if that field is empty at POST and create a different Model.create statement based on that check...

Could someone please shine some light on me? I must be doing something wrong here.

it's really bizarre, can you post some code to us ?

Sure. here's the model:

http://goo.gl/hHt6X

and then the post method with the horrible work-around when the :temps_vol input is blank:

post '/cr_mission' do

  (params[:temps_vol] == "") ? temps_vol="00:00":temps_vol=params[:temps_vol]
  
  flight = Flight.first_or_create({:avatar_id => params[:choix_avatar],
                                   :mission_id => params[:choix_mission]
                                   },
                                  {:monture_id => params[:choix_monture],
                                   :role_id => params[:choix_role],
                                   :temps_vol => temps_vol,
                                   :statut_fin_mission_id => params[:choix_statut]
                                   })    
  
  redirect '/cr_mission'  
end

the form can be found here:
