Date predicate is formatted as string

[dcrec1]

Hello,

in previous versions, block in this code use to receive a time object:

Ransack.configure do |config|
  config.add_predicate 'lteq_eod',
                       arel_predicate: 'lteq',
                       formatter: proc { |value| value.end_of_day },
                       type: :date
end

After upgrading from 4.3.0 to 4.4.0, the proc block started receiving an string.

@dcrec1 are you able to test this PR ? #1651

Hi @scarroll32, @dcrec1

I’m also encountering the same error.
I believe the cause is that it no longer casts the value when it’s not an array.
This change was introduced in PR #1559.
I’ve confirmed that the issue can be avoided with the following monkey patch:

Ransack::Nodes::Condition.prepend(
  Module.new do
    def casted_values_for_attribute(attr)
      validated_values.map { |v| v.cast_array(predicate.type || attr.type) }
    end
  end
)
Ransack::Nodes::Value.prepend(
  Module.new do
    def cast_array(type)
      if value.is_a?(Array)
        cast_to_date(value)
      else
        cast(type)
      end
    end
  end
)

PR #1559 was reverted in v4.4.1 via PR #1645.
So, I believe this issue was resolved in v4.4.1.
