ActiveRecord 似乎不明白，给定具有嵌套属性的现有记录的一组参数，它可以创建一个新的嵌套记录，该记录本身具有嵌套的现有记录。（关系树Existing -> New -> Existing：）

这是一个错误，还是我错过了什么？

让我给你看一个简单的例子。

这是我的模型：

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  attr_accessible :name, :posts_attributes
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts
end

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :group
  belongs_to :user
  attr_accessible :content, :title, :group_attributes
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :group
end

class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  attr_accessible :name
end

我在每个表中创建了一条记录，并相应地将它们关联起来，因此每个表中都有一条记录，并带有id=1--this 是已知的。现在，如果我有一个现有的用户、一个新的帖子和一个现有的组，并尝试使用 更新该记录accepts_nested_attributes_for，它不喜欢它：

                :name => "Billy",
    :posts_attributes => [
        [0] {
                          :title => "Title",
                        :content => "Some magnificent content for you!",
            :group_attributes => {
                  :id => 1,
                :name => "Group 1"
            }
        }
    ]
}

它认为它找不到与新帖子相关的组（具有已知 ID）。当我从group_attributes（但它创建一个新的组记录）中删除 ID 时它可以工作。当我给出posts_attributes一个 ID 并从 id 中删除group_attributes（并再次创建一个新组）时，它会起作用。当他们都有 ID 时，它也可以工作。

关系有效：

1.9.3-p125 :059 > p = Post.new( { group_attributes: { name: 'Testing' } } )
#<Post:0x00000004212380> {
            :id => nil,
         :title => nil,
       :content => nil,
      :group_id => nil,
       :user_id => nil,
    :created_at => nil,
    :updated_at => nil
}
1.9.3-p125 :060 > p.group
[
    [0] #<Group:0x00000004211868> {
                :id => nil,
              :name => "Testing",
        :created_at => nil,
        :updated_at => nil
    }
]

如果所有记录都是新的，它在使用posts_attributes和创建group_attributes过程中也完全有效。User

它不应该在第一个示例中仍然有效吗？ActiveRecord 应该足够聪明来解决这个问题......！

这是我认为正在发生的事情：您正在传递一个组的 ID，向 ActiveRecord 指示该组存在。ActiveRecord 正在尝试查找该组以使用您在group_attributes中的其他数据对其进行更新。由于您在 post_attributes 中执行此操作，因此ActiveRecord正在尝试通过帖子和组之间的关联来查找该组. 也就是说，ActiveRecord 首先查找关联的组 - 其中 id = post.group_id - 然后从该结果中查找 ID = 1 的组。对于父关系，这可能看起来有点奇怪和笨拙，就像你的情况一样，但是我敢肯定，当您朝另一个方向前进时，您会看到这是一种有用的行为，其中嵌套属性代表一个或多个潜在的多个子级。

但是，从 post_attributes 中的数据创建的帖子对象尚未与组关联 - post.group_id 为 nil。因此，当 ActiveRecord 进行第一次搜索以获取关联的组时，它是空的。相应地，它在（空）结果中找不到 ID = 1 的组。从技术上讲，记录是存在的，但就与帖子的关联而言，它不存在。

您可以通过在 post_attributes 中包含 group_id => 1 来证明这一点。我相信如果你这样做，ActiveRecord 会通过关联找到组，然后从结果中选择 ID = 1 的组，成功，然后使用 group_attributes 中的附加数据更新该组。

另请注意，像您所做的那样在帖子中包含组的嵌套属性的唯一原因是，如果您允许用户在创建新帖子的同时更新组名称。如果您只想将新帖子链接到现有组，那么您只需在 post_attributes 中包含 group_id 即可摆脱 group_attributes。
