Parent - Childen - Grandchildren: If children isn't saved, all but one grandchildren are not saved.

[harry]

I have a setup much like the one pimpmaster described. It more or less
works as expected.

Story has_many :sections
Section has_many :routes

But, if I edit a story and then add a new section and add three routes
to that new, unsaved section, they all have this ID:

story[section_attributes][new][-1][route_attributes][new][-1][name]

And because of that only one of them is actually passed on and saved.

If I save my section first, they will get fine numbering, -1, -2, -3.

Any ideas?

Here is the pastie with source code and the likes.

No one? It's pretty important.

Sorry I haven't responded yet, been busy...

I can't seem to repeat the bug here, either. There is a javascript variable that counts the number of new forms added. Obviously, it's not being incremented.

Could you pastie the generated HTML pls?

can you try alert'ing attribute_fu_sound_count in firebug before and after adding a few extra forms.

This is odd..

[harry]

Not defined before adding anything, but after that, it is actually
updated, and contains -1, -2, -3 etc..

the add link:
"name=\"story[play_attributes][new][-1][sound_attributes][new][-1][name]\"

-1 should be #{number} so .evaluate substitutes it with
attribute_fu_sound_count.

That's rather weird.

This is beginning to freak me out. So, I created a new rails-project
with only bare functionality, but still perfectly reproducing the
issue.

It's on GitHub: http://github.com/ichverstehe/af_grandchildren_issue/tree/master

Please, feel free to take a look at it.

[James Golick]

great! that's exactly what I need to diagnose the issue. I'll check it out this week for sure.

Thanks,

j
