Hi not sure if this is where I should post this problem but since upgrading to rails 3.07 dup is not working as expected
basically in method I have this dup_row = row.dup #then I delete a row of my original hash row[:athlete].delete(:sports) if !row[:athlete][:sports].nil?
pretty simple but what is happening is it is deleting from the dup and the original here is the debug code of the original and dup just after deleting the sports
original hash values
{"athlete"=>{"first_name"=>"DaveG5600", "gender"=>"M", "hometown_id"=>"40", "birthplace_id"=>"30", "last_name"=>"test"}, "leagues"=>{"league"=>{"id"=>"821", "start_year"=>"1983", "end_year"=>"2003"}}, "clubs"=>{"club"=>[{"id"=>"11802", "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}, {"id"=>"1403", "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}]}, "schools"=>{"school"=>{"id"=>nil, "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}}, "sports"=>{"sport"=>{"id"=>"102", "start_year"=>"1985", "end_year"=>"1986", "sport_roles"=>"10"}}}}
dup row (notice sports is missing which even though I am not deleting from this hash) {"athlete"=>{"first_name"=>"DaveG5600", "gender"=>"M", "hometown_id"=>"40", "birthplace_id"=>"30", "last_name"=>"test"}, "leagues"=>{"league"=>{"id"=>"821", "start_year"=>"1983", "end_year"=>"2003"}}, "clubs"=>{"club"=>[{"id"=>"11802", "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}, {"id"=>"1403", "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}]}, "schools"=>{"school"=>{"id"=>nil, "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}}}}
row (this is where I expect to have the sport value deleted which is does) {"athlete"=>{"first_name"=>"DaveG5600", "gender"=>"M", "hometown_id"=>"40", "birthplace_id"=>"30", "last_name"=>"test"}, "leagues"=>{"league"=>{"id"=>"821", "start_year"=>"1983", "end_year"=>"2003"}}, "clubs"=>{"club"=>[{"id"=>"11802", "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}, {"id"=>"1403", "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}]}, "schools"=>{"school"=>{"id"=>nil, "start_year"=>nil, "end_year"=>nil}}}} e
Very strange not sure if rails or ruby issue.
