Hello , I’ld need some help (read it could be a bug … patch coming in  
2.0.3 ?)

I have hm / bt relationships

class User \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_many :infos, :dependent =\> :destroy

class Info \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :user , :counter\_cache =\> true

when creating a new info instance, the ‘infos\_count’ column in the  
users table is not incremented

infos\_controller.rb  
def create  
@info = Info.new(params[:info])  
@info.valid\_until = params[:valid\_until]  
…  
if @info.save  
current\_user.infos \<\< @info#user\_id inserted in info but  
infos\_count not updated in user record  
current\_user.reload  
else  
format.html { render :action =\> “new” }  
end  
end
