Thank you very much Mike!
The behavior I am getting is very strange.
The test case (I posted and then removed by accident) validates the
behavior of "append to list". IOW: position is correct and not None.
105 def test_backref_set(self):
106 self._setup(ordering_list('position'))
The mechanism of backrefs is such that when you assign to the
many-to-one side of the relationship, if the one-to-many is not loaded
from the database, the "append" that you want to do does not occur at
that time. When the list is not loaded, the object is placed in a queue
where it will be
There seems to be something else ...
The following test passes which indicates that position is set as 0 right
after the bullet and the slide are related:
93 def test_backref_set(self):
94 self._setup(ordering_list('position'))
95
96 #session = create_session()
97
