I''m trying to understand these results in irb, which implies that
there''s some kind of proxy at play:
>> aaron = User.find_by_login ''aaron''
=> #<User:0xb7109cdc
@attributes={"salt"=>"7e3041ebc2fc05a40c60028e2c4901a81035d3cd",
"updated_at"=>nil, "contact_info_id"=>nil,
"crypted_password"=>"00742970dc9e6319f8019fd54864d3ea740f04b1",
"user_group_id"=>"10",
"remember_token_expires_at"=>nil, "id"=>"2",
"disabled"=>"0", "remember_token"=>nil,
"locale"=>nil,
"login"=>"aaron",
"created_at"=>"2007-09-18
19:10:55"}>>> og = aaron.user_group
=> #<UserGroup:0xb70ad3ec @attributes={"name"=>"FeedRoom
Operations",
"billing_contact_id"=>nil,
"type"=>"UserGroup", "contact_id"=>nil,
"id"=>"10", "note"=>"Users with access
to all client scopes.",
"parent_id"=>"4"},
@original_language=nil>>> og.name
=> "FeedRoom Operations">> sales = UserGroup.find_by_name ''sales''
=> #<UserGroup:0xb709b5c0
@attributes={"name"=>"Sales",
"billing_contact_id"=>nil,
"type"=>"UserGroup", "contact_id"=>nil,
"id"=>"5", "note"=>"The sales
team.", "parent_id"=>"3"},
@original_language=nil>>> sales.name
=> "Sales">> aaron.user_group = sales
=> #<UserGroup:0xb709b5c0
@attributes={"name"=>"Sales",
"billing_contact_id"=>nil,
"type"=>"UserGroup", "contact_id"=>nil,
"id"=>"5", "note"=>"The sales
team.", "parent_id"=>"3"},
@original_language=nil>>> aaron.user_group.name
=> "Sales">> og.name
=> "Sales"
Can anyone point me to some reading material that explains why my
reference to a UserGroup model class changes when I alter the
refernence in the user from whence my reference came? It''s like
there''s some kind of proxy object in place that I can''t really
see,
and I''d like to understand what''s going on.
