update_attribute doesn't save new record -- documentation should notice this
Reported by xHire | July 27th, 2010 @ 06:18 PM
Since Rails 3.0.0 RC method ActiveRecord::Persistence.update_attribute doesn't save new record (if it isn't another bug), so the documentation of this method has not been accurate.
Mentioning only relevant text, there is:
Updates a single attribute and saves the record.
- There should be stated that it applies only to already existing
records, because new records remain unsaved.
- The record is not saved as a whole but only the one attribute (updated by calling this method) is saved (i.e. all remaining dirty attributes are not saved).
