I have a user who has a location that location contains a country_id.
Location has a polymorphic interface locatable.

What works:
The user can edit their name, country and city. This all saves to the DB
on the update put.

The problem:
Returning to the edit page shows the textfield's name and city populated
but the country select form element defaults to blank. The value for
user.location.country_id is saved in the DB but the form element refuses
to show this as "selected". I have attempted explicityly setting the
selected :option but still, it fails to show country.






MODEL

user
  has_one :location, :as => :locatable, :dependent => :destroy

location
  belongs_to :country
  belongs_to :locatable, :polymorphic => true

country
  has_many :locations


VIEW
<% form_for @user, :html => { :multipart => true } do  |form| %>

  <div class="text_field">
    <%= form.label :name %>
    <%= form.text_field :name %>
  </div>

<% fields_for "user[location_attributes]",@user.location do
|location_fields| %>
  <div class="select_field">
    <%= location_fields.label :country_id %>
    <%= location_fields.select :country_id, Country.find(:all).map { |c|
[c.name.titleize, c.id] }, { :include_blank => true } %>
  </div>
  <div class="text_field">
   <%= location_fields.label :city %>
   <%= location_fields.text_field :city %>
  </div>
<%- end -%>

  <%= form.submit 'Update' %>
<% end %>

CONTROLLER

  def edit
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
  end


  def update
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    @user.attributes = params[:user]
    @user.save!
    flash[:notice] = "Your profile has been updated."
    redirect_to url_after_update

  rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
    render :action => "edit"
  end
