I need some help to debug an issue that just came up, and I’ve never
seen before. I have a model, let’s call it Allocation, and it has
worked in the past (is working now on the live server). It’s fairly
simple with user_id, size, start (date), expire (date),
storage_billing_id, timestamps. I started noticing in my development
branch a couple of days ago that it won’t save. As I investigate
further I see no errors when I attempt to save it just fails and
return nil.
in the console I tried:
a = Allocation.new
…
…assigned all the attributes manually
a.save
=> nil
a.valid?
=> true
a.frozen?
=> false
a.save!
nil
a.errors.full_messages
=> []
I’ve removed some columns and added a column to this model recently,
I’ve tampered with my os x rails installation recently, and I’ve done
a lot of development around this class recently, but which of these
issues is most likely the cause I don’t know. Any help debugging this
would be GREATLY appreciated.

Any before_filters in place on this model? What does your
development.log say? Do you see the INSERT query?

no before_filters (no filters of any kind). If I follow the
development.log while I’m doing an interactive console like above I
can see there is no output at all to the log when I do a save. If I
immediately try a different model and save it, no problem, and I see
some output in the dev log. It is very bazar. I keep thinking I must
be using a keyword in the model somewhere, but I can’t find any. Maybe
I’ve broken my installation.

Well if there’s something odd with that model you’ll have to show it
before people can tell you what’s wrong. Tip of the day: methods/
associations called transaction are a bad thing.

Haha how did you know? I had just found that out and came back here
to post the solution. It turns out I have a model for financial
transactions called… you guessed it ‘transaction’. Seemed to be
working fine everywhere for a while then I created a polymeric
association to the allocation model and I guess this line in the
allocation model screwed it up.
class Allocation < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :transaction, :as => :item

Haha, how did you know? I just figured it out and was on my way back
here to post the solution. I have a model for financial transactions
called… you guess it ‘transaction’. It’s been working fine for
weeks, but I just added a polymorphic association from it to my
Allocation model. It appears this was the culprit:
class Allocation < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :transaction, :as => :item
Thank you very much!!
