This issue is making me crazy... Look at this:

Strange, I would expect here:

 => {"path"=>["((7,6),(5,4))", "((5,4))"]}

 

ruby-1.9.3-rc1 :079 > @hunting.changed_attributes
 => {"path"=>((5,4))}

Strange, I would expect here:

=> {"path"=>"((7,6),(5,4))"}

  

ruby-1.9.3-rc1 :080 > @hunting.save
  (0.2ms)  BEGIN
  (0.5ms)  UPDATE "huntings" SET "path" = '((7,6),(5,4))',
"updated_at" = '2011-10-03 19:30:15.467748' WHERE "huntings"."id" = 1
  (23.5ms)  COMMIT

What happens, when on line :075 of your example above, you

simply say 

 @hunting.path '((5,4))'

@hunting.path = '((5,4))'  # sorry, typo ...

instead of the call to Hunting#one_step_forward and replay the rest of your

example. Does it behave as expected then?

Are there any before_save hooks at play in your Hunting model?

Actually, I tried to replay your example (using a simple string assignment)

in Rails 3.1.1.rc1 and found the different results for .changes and

.changed_attributes after the assignment, mentioned above.

004:0> j = Job.find(1)

  Job Load (0.5ms)  SELECT "jobs".* FROM "jobs" WHERE "jobs"."id" = $1 LIMIT 1  [["id", 1]]

=> #<Job id: 1, created_at: "2011-10-03 20:56:27", updated_at: "2011-10-03 21:02:56", name: "foo", path: "((7,6),(5,4))">

005:0> j.path

=> "((7,6),(5,4))"

006:0> j.changed?

=> false

007:0> j.path = "((5,4))"

=> "((5,4))"

008:0> j.changed?

=> true

009:0> j.changes # this is different from your result and what I expected

=> {"path"=>["((7,6),(5,4))", "((5,4))"]}

010:0> j.changed_attributes # this is the original value, as documented

=> {"path"=>"((7,6),(5,4))"}

011:0> j.path_was

=> "((7,6),(5,4))"

012:0> j.path

=> "((5,4))"

013:0> j.save

   (0.1ms)  BEGIN

   (0.4ms)  UPDATE "jobs" SET "path" = '((5,4))', "updated_at" = '2011-10-03 21:06:21.336787' WHERE "jobs"."id" = 1

   (0.7ms)  COMMIT

=> true

014:0> j = Job.find(1)

  Job Load (0.4ms)  SELECT "jobs".* FROM "jobs" WHERE "jobs"."id" = $1 LIMIT 1  [["id", 1]]

=> #<Job id: 1, created_at: "2011-10-03 20:56:27", updated_at: "2011-10-03 21:06:21", name: "foo", path: "((5,4))">
