Find on nested models does not trigger callbacks

#5925

Rails 3.0.1: find on nested models does not trigger callbacks:

class TeachingGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :school_term
  ...
  after_update :foo
end

In TeachingGroupsController, any callbacks on the models are not triggered when I use a nested find. The model returned is the same in each case:

class TeachingGroupsController < ApplicationController
  ...
  def update
    # this works, triggers callbacks on update_attributes or create:
    @teaching_group = TeachingGroup.find(params[:id])
    
    # for security, I want this, but this DOES NOT trigger callbacks:
    @teaching_group = @current_term.teaching_groups.find(params[:id])
     
    # works, triggers callbacks
    @teaching_group = TeachingGroup.find_by_id_and_school_term_id(params[:id], @current_term.id)

    if @teaching_group.update_attributes( params[:teaching_group] ) ...
    ...
  end
  ...
end

Same phenomenon in create. The main problem is that the cache sweeper does not work either.
Please help, and many thanks for your hard work on Rails!

Not sure what you mean by NestedModel since I did not see any NestedModel in the example you illustrated.

Following code works for me with rails edge.

class Car < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :brakes
end
class Brake < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :car

  after_update :foo

  def foo
    puts 'foo'*50
  end

  def self.lab
    Car.create(:name => 'honda') unless Car.first
    Car.first.brakes.create(:name => 'b1') unless Brake.first

    b = Brake.find(1)
    b.update_attributes({:name => 'b2'})

    b = Car.first.brakes.find(1)
    b.update_attributes({:name => 'b3'})

    b = Brake.find_by_id_and_name(1, 'b3')
    b.update_attributes({:name => 'b4'})
  end

end

OK, I have just found this error does not occur when I use "rails server", but when I use passenger 3.0.0. Sorry, these are not nested models but simple has_many relations.
