Description

Hello!

I needed to get array of only one column values from my locations table and it seems that pluck() always returns location.id, not depending what attribute is passed to the function.

Location.near('Lille')
=>
Location id: 4, area: "Lille", lat: 50.6292, lon: 3.05726, created_at: "2012-01-25 18:13:09",
Location id: 6, area: "Villeneuve-d'Ascq", lat: 50.6233, lon: 3.145, created_at: "2012-01-25 19:05:44"

Location.near('Lille').pluck(:id)
=> [4, 6]

Location.near('Lille').pluck(:created_at)
=> [4, 6]

Regards,
Santuxus

Research direction

Start by reproducing Location.near('Lille').pluck(:created_at) and compare it with the working pluck(:id) example. Trace the Location.near scope and the pluck entry point to find where the selected column is lost. Done means pluck returns the requested attribute values while preserving the near query results.
