Association proxy create

A Feed has many Subscriptions

class Feed < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :subscriptions
end

class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :feed, :counter_cache => true
belongs_to :user
end

This does not work
ch = Channel.find(:first)
ch.feeds.create(:user_id => 1, :score => 0.0)

user_id and score columns must be non-null, SQL INSERT sets them NULL.
Nor does it work with string keys instead of symbols.

This does:
ch = Channel.find(:first)
ch.feeds.create do |f|
f.user_id = 1
f.score = 0.0
end

According to AWDWR 1st and http://rails.rubyonrails.org/ both should
behave
the same. What has changed or I am doing wrong.

TIA,
Jeffrey

It’s possible that the attributes aren’t getting assigned because
they’re protected. Do you have attr_protected or attr_accessible
declared anywhere in your model?

Pat,
Head slap, yes that is precisely the problem. Thanks for seeing into
my
blind spot.
