Saving through a m:1 association can silently fail

Reported by Greg Campbell | May 21st, 2009 @ 05:48 PM

See the script below: saving a resource associated via belongs_to appears not to write anything to the database.

require 'rubygems'
require 'dm-core'

DataMapper.setup(:default, 'sqlite3::memory:')

class Zoo
  include DataMapper::Resource

  property :id, Serial
  property :name, String
  
  has n, :animals
end

class Animal
  include DataMapper::Resource
  property :id, Serial
  property :species, String
  belongs_to :zoo

end

DataMapper.auto_migrate!
Zoo.create(:name => "old").animals.create(:species => "tiger")

animal = Zoo.first.animals.first
animal.zoo.name = "new!"
puts animal.zoo.save # "true"
# The save above did not persist anything to the DB
puts animal.zoo.name # "new!"
puts animal.zoo.dirty? # "true"
puts animal.zoo.reload.name # "old"

    Sorry for the formatting; Lighthouse desperately needs either a way to edit tickets after they've been created or a way to preview tickets before they're created.

    Never mind, figured it out.

    Greg: by "never mind" do you mean you resolved the issue, or that you fixed the formatting?

    I just tried this with the dm-core/next branch, and it passes, so I am marking this ticket as resolved. The next minor release of DataMapper will be from the dm-core/next branch, which will be happening shortly.
