Unnecessary escaping of date selector fields when used with file field

Reported by Peter Aitken | March 19th, 2009 @ 12:25 PM

When using webrat 0.4.2 and Rails 2.3 RC2 I have hit the following problem.

Give I have a form with a date selector and a attachment file field,
and I select a date and have nothing in the file field, the folling attributes arrive correctly at the controllers create action.

my_date(1i): 2007
my_date(2i): 5
my_date(3i): 21
my_attachment:

All looks good.

Then if I attach a file and fill in the date again the controller recieves...

my_date%281i%29: 2007
my_date%282i%29: 5
my_date%283i%29: 21
my_attachment: #File:0x644cce8

This results in the my_date attribute not being set in the model due to expecting to recieve keys like,

my_date(1i)
and not
my_date%281i%29
