[RavenDB] Bug with using Enum's?

[cosullivan]

Hi,

I have a class which uses a simple enum

enum Gender { Male, Female }

This is being serialized in the JSON document as the numerical value,
however, the JsonEnumConverter is expecting it to be read out as a
string and therefore I get the following exception;

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast
object of type
'System.Int64' to type 'System.String'.
at Raven.Database.Json.JsonEnumConverter.ReadJson(JsonReader
reader, Type obj
ectType, Object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)

Is this a bug, or is there some other way to deal with Enums in Raven?

Regards,
Cain O'Sullivan

I seen exactly the same thing, for now I just switched to using
strings.
