Because it's intended to be used in scenarios where you're not interested in dealing with validation errors. Such as automatic functions that update a flag or increment a counter at billing. These functions should not fail just because the object is invalid for whatever reason. If you want the same functionality with validation, you can use update_attributes :attribute => value. If this is confusion, please do add a documentation patch explaining it fully. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
