Method deprecated or moved
This method is deprecated or moved on the latest stable version. The last existing version (v3.1.0) is shown here.
These similar methods exist in v7.1.3.2:
attribute_for_inspect(attr_name)
public
Returns an #inspect-like string for the value of the attribute attr_name. String attributes are truncated upto 50 characters, and Date and Time attributes are returned in the :db format. Other attributes return the value of #inspect without modification.
