Weird #reload behavior

Reported by Elliott Mason | March 13th, 2008 @ 01:52 PM

I'm trying to troubleshoot another bug and kept wondering why my tests passed but similar code in practice did not give proper results. 

#Assume Topic has_many Posts and Post belongs_to Topic.

p = Post.new
p.topic = Topic.new
p.save
p.topic_id == p.topic.id #true
p.reload
p.topic_id == p.topic.id #true

#That's cool, but...
p = Post.all.last
p.topic #now returns nil
p.topic_id #now returns nil

Which leads me to conclude that #reload doesn't seem to be reloading properly in all cases. The spec written for the method works fine. For some reason in the context of associations it just behaves differently.
