Consider the following setup:
class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :children end
class Child < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent end
And this console session:
p = Parent.find 41 p.some_attr = 'some_value' c = p.children.build c.parent
By watching my log files, I can see that c.parent is querying the db for the parent object. I want instead to access the existing in-memory object (p), because I need access to the parent's some_attr value, which is not yet stored in the database. Is there any way of doing this? c.parent(force_reload=false) doesn't get me there.
