Hi all,
I use save on an ActiveRecord object to insert or update it. I expect
save to insert a new object in the database when I didn''t assign the
id to the object and update the object when I assigned an id to it.
That''s what I think the documentation tells me:
* No record exists: Creates a new record with values matching
those of the object attributes.
* A record does exist: Updates the record with values matching
those of the object attributes.
Shouldn''t it update the record when the id already exists or have I
misunderstood how save works?
regards,
Stijn

yes, you misunderstood this detail when you create a new model object with eg User.new, Rails uses (I assume) an internal flag to determine, that this is a new record. If you load a record with User.find (eg) this flag is off. So that''s a Rails internal state, setting the ID field has nothing to do with it, it only depends on the way the object was created. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
