Active Record and dup vs clone
Look what I stumbled across on StackOverflow, there they say that:
When dealing with ActiveRecord there’s a significant difference too: dup creates a new object without its id being set, so you can save a new object to the database by hitting
.save
category2 = category.dup #=> #<Category id: nil, name: "Favorites">
clone creates a new object with the same id, so all the changes made to that new object will overwrite the original record if hitting .save
category2 = category.clone #=> #<Category id: 1, name: "Favorites">
