Context

Rails version: 7.0.0
attr-encrypted version: 4.0.0

I assume you are setting config.active_record.yaml_column_permitted_classes = [some classes] in your application config? And for a given class in that config, does it have attr_encrypted fields?

[anujc4]

Yea, should have mentioned that, sorry. I am setting yaml_column_permitted_classes in the application config. But they are non-activerecord classes (so no classes with attr_encrypted fields)

config.active_record.yaml_column_permitted_classes = [
  Symbol,
  Time,
  ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
]

Removing this configuration works, but I'm curious as to why the same configuration did not cause an issue with an older setup (Rails 6.1 with attr_encrypted 3.1.0)

In a test app I have Rails/ActiveSupport 7.0.4.3 with attr_encrypted 4.0.0 and setting the following does not seem to break migrations. Do you have pending migrations, trying to see how this might be hitting our method_missing hook.

config.active_record.yaml_column_permitted_classes = [
 Symbol,
 Time,
 ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
]

[anujc4]

Not really sure if this could be because of pending migrations. I get the same error if I run bundle exec rails db:drop --trace as well. My app is using activesupport version 7.0.0. Let me try updating the gem to latest patch version to see if it resolves the issue.
