Rails Admin how to show dropdown field

I am using Rails Admin gem (Ruby On Rails) and I need to show a dropdown field on one form.

I check about adding Enum method to Class definition from sample here:

But this is not working in my case: the result I am getting are values inside textbox not in dropdown rails admin .

What am I doing wrong here ?

Here is an official documentation for Rails Admin Enumeration.

It states that If you already have a database column for which you want a dropdown then simple add a method COLUM_NNAME_enum and every thing will be taken care off. e.g

If you want a dropdown for status column then you need to define a status_enum method in your model.

Other approach is directly telling the field that we wanna use enum for this field so there are 2 options to do that.

 class Test << ActiveRecord::Base

    rails_admin do
      create do 
        field :status , :enum do
          enum_method do
            :status_enum
          end
        end 
      end
    end

    #Here is other simple option

    rails_admin do
      create do 
        field :status , :enum do
          enum do
            [['Actice',1],['Pending',0]]
          end
        end 
      end
    end
  end
