Doesn't clone all children about deep_cloneable

[moiristo]

I'm not sure yet.. when you add a debugger after calling dup (before update_attribute), what does the object look like? Does it contain dups of all included data? The thing is that update_attribute might not do what you want. You should be calling save or update_attributes instead, as those methods will run callbacks.

You're right. The callback on either of those methods fails due to my own validations. Where as update_attribute was not.

I need to update that one attribute to pass a scoped uniqueness validation. How (when) would I update it?

Thanks for the gem!

I apologize if this is an annoying question you get. Would you be willing to get online and take a peak at my implementation of this gem? I'd happily pay. This gem is a great way to dup...but, my model is somehow preventing things from working. adamstockland at gmail.

First of all, I'd change the code to something like this:

course_copy = Course.find(2).dup(include: {:flightlessons => :scenarios})
course_copy.farpart = Farpart.find(1)
puts course_copy.errors.full_messages.to_sentence unless course_copy.valid? # some debugging
course_copy.save!

If it won't save while the copy is valid, then it might be the case that you've defined before_create or before_save callbacks in your models that return 'false', causing the save to fail.
