Hi all, I'm seeing some unexpected behaviour in a nested model and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. When assigning nested attributes, the associated object gets replaced with a new record.
Example code: class Car < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :driver end class Car < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :driver end Here's some console output: (pastie version: http://pastie.org/538782) >> d = Driver.create :name => "Homer", :age => 40 => #<Driver id: 1, name: "Homer", age: 40, created_at: "2009-07-08 16:54:44", updated_at: "2009-07-08 16:54:44"> >> d.create_car :make => "Porshce", :model => "911" => #<Car id: 1, driver_id: 1, make: "Porshce", model: "911", created_at: "2009-07-08 16:55:26", updated_at: "2009-07-08 16:55:26"> >> d.new_record? => false >> d.car.new_record? => false >> d.car.id => 1 >> d.car.attributes => {"model"=>"911", "driver_id"=>1, "created_at"=>Wed Jul 08 16:55:26 UTC 2009, "updated_at"=>Wed Jul 08 16:55:26 UTC 2009, "id"=>1, "make"=>"Porshce"} >> attrs = {:car_attributes => {:model => "Boxster"}} => {:car_attributes=>{:model=>"Boxster"}} >> d.attributes = attrs => {:car_attributes=>{:model=>"Boxster"}} >> d.car.attributes => {"model"=>"Boxster", "driver_id"=>1, "created_at"=>nil, "updated_at"=>nil, "make"=>nil} >> d.car.id => nil >> d.car.new_record? => true any ideas? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
