You just learn some things the hard way! For a couple of hours I have been trying to get the ‘acts_as_state_machine’ to work in a consistent manner. For some reason or the other, my unit & integration tests run perfectly fine while my program works once in a while! I would not have been thrown off guard had it not worked at all.
Finally after a very determined debugging session, I figured out that my object’s state would not change if the object is not already persisted! Now, that is common sense but would it not have helped to throw a small error if I tried to something like this? The plugin is great and I am not cribbing, but sometimes little things can really make your life miserable
