"Cannot find corresponding type for inet" about rom-sql HOT 4 CLOSED

Note: in the meantime I was able to get it working by removing infer: true from my Accounts relation (accounts is the table that has the inet column) and specifying the columns I need explicitly within a schema block, without including the inet columns. This only works because I don't actually care about the inet columns as far as ROM is concerned, so I don't need to include them.

EDIT... wait, nevermind, this doesn't work, I was just on the wrong branch. Disregard!

EDIT no. 2: managed to 'fix' it with the following hack: opened up my local copy of the rom-sql gem, and changed the method map_type in lib/rom/sql/schema/inferrer to the following:

        def map_type(ruby_type, db_type, **_kw)
          ruby_type = :string if db_type.to_s == 'inet' # <- this is the new line
          self.class.ruby_type_mapping.fetch(ruby_type) {
            raise UnknownDBTypeError, "Cannot find corresponding type for #{ruby_type || db_type}"
          }
        end

This is obviously not a long-term solution: use at your own peril.

I'll tweak inferrer so that it doesn't raise and instead schema will allow you to define missing attributes and if some attributes are still missing during schema finalization, then it will raise.

from rom-sql.

If you bundle update then you'll be able to do something like this:

schema(infer: true) do
  attribute :ip, Types::String
end

Assuming :ip is the name of the attribute that fails during inference, this will work now.
