I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Be gentle. Noob here. :) Ideas on how to solve this? Kind of a chicken or the egg scenario. Check out this update function in my controller:
def update @snowplow_registration = SnowplowRegistration.find(params[:id]) @customer = Customer.find(@snowplow_registration.customer) SnowplowRegistration.transaction do @snowplow_registration.update_attributes!(params[:snowplow_registration]) @customer.update_attributes!(params[:customer]) flash[:notice] = 'Snow Plow Registration was successfully updated.' redirect_to(@snowplow_registration) end rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid => e @customer.valid? render :action => "edit" end When the transaction starts, if validation fails on the @snowplow_registration, it doesn't check the validation on my @customer for the fields that were updated. Validation for both works properly when testing separate... but @customer returns to the edit page without passing the changed (params[:customer]) because the failure in the transaction happened before I can call @customer.update_attributes!(params[:customer]). Is there a way to update the model in memory before updating the database?
