Rails - Aug 2006 - Relationship not saving

Hi All,

I have a one to many relationship between images and gifts (one image 
can be assigned to multiple gifts):

class ProductImage < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :gifts
...

class Gift < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :product_image
...

I''m trying to associate an image with a gift, and for the life of me 
ActiveRecord will not associate them.  Here is some test code and the 
associated output:

gift.product_image = ProductImage.find_or_create(<some params>)
  	p "PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #{gift.product_image}"
  	gift.product_image.save
  	p "PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #{gift.product_image}"
  	gift.save
  	p "PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #{gift.product_image}"
  	gift.reload
  	p "PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #{gift.product_image}"
  	gift.save
 	p "PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #{gift.product_image}"

and the output is:

"PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #<ProductImage:0xb73e6a40>"
"PRODUCT IMAGE IS: #<ProductImage:0xb73e6a40>"
"PRODUCT IMAGE IS: "
"PRODUCT IMAGE IS: "
"PRODUCT IMAGE IS: "

AS soon as I go and save the gift, the image gets wiped out - the 
association never makes it into the database.  Any ideas how this could 
be?

Thanks!
Tom

I found out what line of code was calling this... I had an unexpected 
gift.reload call that was being made elsewhere in the code.  I still 
don''t know why that caused the problem, but it''s resolved now.
