Hi there,  
I have a running rails application with the latest [prismic.io](http://prismic.io) gem (v1.7.0)  
I've added a new content type with a boolean field but it seems that all boolean fields are missing from the response object.  
Is the boolean field supported by the gem?

Hi Zoltan,

Unfortunately, it's, as you thought, not possible to use the boolean field with the Ruby gem at the moment.  
This is an open issue on the kit, so you can track this there:

> <https://github.com/prismicio-community/ruby-kit/issues/91>
>
> With the release of the \[boolean field\](https://user-guides.prismic.io/en/articl…es/3456034-boolean-field) and \[slices\](https://user-guides.prismic.io/en/articles/383933-slices) it would be great to see these supported together. 
> 
> Currently when a boolean field is inside a slice the method \`api.getByID\` errors out with a generic \`\`\`undefined method \`call' for nil:NilClass\`\`\` error.

I'll pass this to the dev team so they can add this to their backlog and hopefully they can find some bandwidth to deal with this issue.

Thanks.
