Rails Ruby on Rails → 2.x

The history behind the bug here is a little strange.

I have a project that access a DB where all writes have to use stored procedures (don't blame me, I didn't make this decision).

The insert stored procedure takes the parameters and returns the primary key given to the new record. I then set the object's primary key manually and call reload.

This works fine (all the fields look as they should), but calling new_record? on the object still returns true.

Example

c = Company.new c.name = 'foo' c.write_new_record c.new_record? => true

where

def write_new_record return false unless valid? result = connection.select_all self.insert_query self.id = result[0]['idx'] reload end

insert_query is the method which inserts the parameter values into the sql query.

Like I said, everything works fine except the new_record? flag.

I know this is a bizarre edge case, but I thought I'd file it anyway.
