After some investigation it seems that submitted fields names are not
parsed as expected.
If the post includes more than one field with the same name, only one
of them (the latter) will be present in the params hash when the form
is submitted.
For example the request.raw_post may contain:
trip[countries][id]=1&trip[countries][id]=2&trip[countries][id]=3
...but the params hash will only contain: "countries"=>{"id"=>"3"}
I would expect something like: "countries"=>[{"id"=>"1"}{"id"=>"2"}
{"id"=>"3"}]
(The Merb::Parse.query method seems to be responsible for this.)
Ideally merb would handle the update of trip.countries but at the very
least we should have an array of trip countries to loop through to
update the countries.
Is this a bug or have I misunderstood?
(The scenario is a bunch of checkboxes on a Trip page, allowing the
user to choose one or more countries. The Trip class "has
n, :trip_countries" and "has n, :countries, :through
=> :trip_countries")
