Question

I’m doing something wrong and it’s either in the method i’m trying to alter data with or the way i have an association defined.

class Hive
  has_many :bees, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Bee
  belongs_to :hive
  attr_accessor :alive, :name
end

>h = Hive.create()
>h.bees.where(:alive => false).count = 100 #created from after_initialize
>h.bees.where(:alive => false).each {|b|b.name="Walter"} 
>h.bees.where(:name => "Walter").count = 0

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This should do the trick…

h.bees.each do |bee|
  bee.name = "Walter"
  bee.save!
end

If there is no validation for

validates_uniqueness_of :name
