Fail with private setter by cvb

class TestModel < ActiveRecord::Base

private

  def test_attr=(v)
    write_attribute(:test_attr, v)
  end
end

and when try to build you will get pretty cryptic error

ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError: unknown attribute: test_attr

What do you expect?

Haha, this is a story about "God damn how could I miss that?"

I expected more human error, like "Man it's private, wtf?!"
