Update a user model attribute during a lifecycle transition

[Andy Waite]

When I try to update an attribute within a transition, such as in the
(simplified) example below, I get the error "Current password is not
correct". What's the correct way to do this?

transition :activate, { :inactive => :active },
:update =>
[ :name, :password, :password_confirmation ],
:params =>
[ :name, :password, :password_confirmation ],
:available_to => :key_holder do
self['name'] = "blah"
self.save!
end

I think you've exposed a bug here. My current theory is that your code
ends up triggering save! twice -- it runs successfully on the first
save, but on the second save, current_password is still set to your old
password, and the validation fails.

If you have more information, please add it to the bug I created:
