p = Person.find(:first)
p.school # nil
p.school_id = School.find_by_name('High School').id
p.school.name # High School
You should be assigning .school= here. Why are you working with the id?
p.school_id = School.find_by_name('Primary School').id
p.school.name # High School <= Shouldn't this be Primary School?
p.school.id == p.school_id # false !!!
Again, the .school_id accessors aren't really meant for use like this.
I suppose the accessors could check the ids, but it seems like a lot
of work for a corner case. An alternative would be to let the
school_id accessor use school.id if the proxy's been loaded.
