Moving belongs_to object to different association

Rails
1

I have two AR models in a one-to-many relationship.

class Feed < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :channel, :counter_cache => true
end

class Channel
has_many :feeds
end

I need to move a feed to a different channel. This works, except the
feeds_counter cache is not changed for the ‘to’ channel. What do I need
to do
differently?

old_channel = …
new_channel = …

f = old_channel.feeds[0]
old_channel.feeds.delete(f)
new_channel.feeds << f

Initially, there is one feed in each channel. old_channel.feeds_count
is zero
(Yeah!), but new_channel.feeds_count is still one (Boo!).

What to do differently?

TIA,
Jeffrey

does

feed.channel = new_channel

work better ?

Quoting Frederick C. [email protected]:

feed.channel = new_channel

work better ?

Fred,
Duh, smacks forehead. It is certainly simpler.

Yes it does work. Thank you very much. Too much seeing the single tree
blocking my path and missing the paved road right next to it.

Thank you,
Jeffrey
