I just noticed this odd behaviour (in rails 2.2.2). It looks like changing the type with update_attributes *doesn't* work (but returns true!), but changing the field and then saving it *does* work. Here i have an STI situation where TeachingObject and LearningObject extend Resource.
The bit where update_attributes returns true, yet seems to fail, is rather disconcerting. Can anyone explain what's going on here? thanks -max >> resource = Resource.first => #<TeachingObject id: 59, name: "Clarinet bite point close-up", description: "", type: "TeachingObject", <etc> > >> resource.update_attributes(:type => "LearningObject") => true >> resource = Resource.first => #<TeachingObject id: 59, name: "Clarinet bite point close-up", description: "", type: "TeachingObject", <etc> > >> resource.type = "LearningObject" => "LearningObject" >> resource.save => true >> resource = Resource.first => #<LearningObject id: 59, name: "Clarinet bite point close-up", description: "", type: "LearningObject", <etc> > -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
