I found an issue with remove_attribute called on newly created embedded documents. Seems like mongoid doesn't notice it's a new document and generates an $unset command, but completely messes the path to the document (since it doesn't have a position in an array of children yet). If the child document was persisted it would generate {{"$unset"=>
{"child_documents.X.flag"=>true}}} command, where X would be the position of updated child document. On a new document it generates {{"$unset"=>
{"child_documents.flag"=>true}}} command and MongoDB silently rejects the whole update operation along with any other changes that were included.I think remove_attribute should check new_document? before generating $unset operation.
Here's a script to replicate the bug:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'mongoid' Mongoid.configure do |config| config.connect_to "mongoid_test" end Moped.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) class RootDocument include Mongoid::Document embeds_many :child_documents end class ChildDocument include Mongoid::Document embedded_in :root_document field :flag, type: Boolean end RootDocument.delete_all parent = RootDocument.create child1 = parent.child_documents.build child1.flag = true parent.save! puts "Root document: " + RootDocument.first.as_json.inspect child2 = parent.child_documents.build child2.remove_attribute :flag parent.save! # this update is silently rejected by MongoDB puts "Root document: " + RootDocument.first.as_json.inspect
And here's the output with some lines removed for clarity:
