Setting foreign keys, yet record.association_name returning nil

Please help me to understand why this piece of rspec code is behaving this way. I am setting product_id to my record, and it is asserting true, but yet record.product not returning anything.

Check how product is defined in the tshirt model. Also check the value of product.id, it may be nil for all we know and tshirt.product_id is also nil so they’re equal.

good point but nope, they are not nil

What do the following show? puts TShirt.last.inspect puts product.inspect puts Tshirt.last.product.inspect

and copy/paste the start of t_shirt.rb showing the associations
