Can't update record

[mrcasals]

I cannot update an element:

product = Product.find(1)
product.name # => "Book"
product_attributes = {"name":"Magazine")
product.update(product_attributes)
product.save
product.name # => "Book"
Product.find(2).name # => "Book"

What am I doing wrong, here? :(

I found something that might imply this is an elastictastic bug: the Persistence module has an update method, but it does not seem to use the options I send to it:

The #update method is not part of the public API (I'm surprised you're able to call it in the above example, since its visibility is protected). The method you're looking for is #attributes=, as in:

product.attributes = product_attributes
product.save

Perfect, thanks! :)
