Robert, it does not seem like i was changing attributes in-place. Here is what is going on, i do not understand how it can be a desired behavior:
I created a test application: $ rails new test_app $ cd test_app $ rails generate model Person name:string age:integer $ rake db:migrate In console: > p = Person.create(:name=>"Johny", :age=>30) > p.id # => 1 > p.id = 2 # => 2 > p.save # => true No change in the database! > p.id # => 2 > p.name = "Jim" # => "Jim" > p.save # => true No change in the database > p.name # => "Jim" > p.id = 1 # => 1 > p.save # => true No change in the database > p.age = 31 # => 31 > p.save # => true In the database, the age became 31, but the name stayed "Johny"! > p.name # => "Jim" > p.name.object_id # => 2155015240 > p.name = "Jim" # => "Jim" > p.name.object_id # => 2154887680 > p.save # => true No change in the database! > p.name = "Jimmy" # => "Jimmy" > p.name.object_id # => 2154859980 > p.save # => true Finally, the name changed in the database!
