Saving related objects using has_many_through associations

Rails
1

This only saves the @person but not the @address. Shouldn’t it save
both?

 @person = Person.new(params[:person])
 @address = Address.new(params[:address])
 @person.address << @address
 @person.save

here is what I have:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :addressables
has_many :addresses, :through => :addressables
end

class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :addressables
has_many :people, :through => :addressables
end

class Addressable < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :address
belongs_to :person
end

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
Serge

Hi Folks,

I just upgraded rails from 1.0.0 to 1.1.2. Suddenly, some of my “if
conditions” stopped working as expected. It seems as though
Rails/ActiveRecord now treats tinyint(1) columns as boolean instead of
integers (like v1.0.0).

I was just wondering if anybody else has experienced similar behavior?
If
so, is there a quick work-around that doesn’t involve me doing a search
and
replace and retesting my entire app?

TIA!

BTW, I am using mysql 5.0.16 and ruby 1.8.2

yeah ive been experiencing the same thing, anybody know how to get
around this or what the deal is?

No, at present you have to explicitly create the Addressable object.

You may be better of using a has_and_belongs_to_many association,
since your Person<->Address association has no accessory attributes.
