Hey All, I have some associations that seem to be messed up as their methods (i.e. clear, delete) don''t do anything - no errors, no SQL, nothing! It''s a polymorphic has_many :through. Here goes: class Connection < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :idea belongs_to :connectable, :polymorphic => :true end class NewsItem < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :connections, :as => :connectable, :dependent => :destroy has_many :ideas, :through => :connections end class Idea < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :connections has_many :news_items, :through => :connections end Let''s say I do this: >> news_item.ideas << ideas => [#<Idea:0x34e5900 @attributes={"name"=>"Test Idea", "short_description"=>"Yodel", "id"=>"10", "long_description"=>"Homey"} >, #<Idea:0x34e58b0 @attributes={"name"=>"Hunter''s Other Idea", "short_description"=>"I had two ideas.", "id"=>"12", "long_description"=>"Yes, I did."}>] >> news_item.ideas.size => 2 Great so far. The records are created, everything works. The problem is that .replace and .clear both do NOTHING: >> news_item.ideas.clear => [] Okay, that looks right but there was no SQL generated for that so... >> news_item.reload >> news_item.ideas.size => 2 ?!?!?! I''ve tried this a million ways and I can''t figure this out. Are the relationships specified incorrectly? Like I said, adding items and viewing them works fine. It''s just anything that requires the connections between news items and ideas to be deleted that fails - but there are never any error messages, just a silent failure w/ no SQL generated. This is on Rails 1.2.3 / Ruby 1.8.5 on OS X Tiger 10.4.9. Any help would be very, very much appreciated.
