Array of integers not being stored properly

I have an array of integers made out of a string which is in this format:

@var.numbers= "1,2,3,4,5"

The integers are then split into an array by:

@var.numbers.split(",").map(&:to_i)

When printed into the console, the command above puts out an array like it should, but when the following is done:

@[email protected](",").map(&:to_i)

After this command the @var.numbers2 outputs only 0. It doesn't even show up in array format over the console. Just plain 0. The @var.numbers is an attr_accessor and @var.numbers2 is defined as integer in the db and is serialized as an array in the model. Could that be causing an issue ? I have an exact same thing done with ordinary string types and serialized into arrays and it works like a charm. Thanks for the help !

numbers2 needs to of type string and not integer. You can't put serialized attributes into an integer column.
