has_many :through w/ condition returns invalid included records

Reported by Jon | July 4th, 2008 @ 01:24 AM | in 2.x

Given the following:

class Father < ActiveRecord::Base

has_many :children

has_many :boys, :through => :children, :conditions => 'boys.age < 10'

end

class Child < ActiveRecord::Base

belongs_to :boy

belongs_to :father

end

class Boy < ActiveRecord::Base

end

mysql> select * from fathers;

+------+

| id |

+------+

| 1 |

+------+

mysql> select * from boys;

+------+------+

| id | age |

+------+------+

| 1 | 5 |

| 2 | 18 |

+------+------+

mysql> select * from children;

+------+--------+-----------+

| id | boy_id | father_id |

+------+--------+-----------+

| 1 | 1 | 1 |

| 2 | 2 | 1 |

+------+--------+-----------+

Father.find(1).boys correctly returns Boy 1

Father.find(1, :include => :boys) incorrectly returns Boy 1 and Boy 2:

Gunner: ~/test [19] > script/console

Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0)

>> f = Father.find 1

=> #

>> f.boys

=> [#]

>> f = Father.find 1, :include => :boys

=> #

>> f.boys

=> [#, #]

in the logs for the include, it's doing an additional call to get that incorrect Boy 2:

Father Load (0.000364) SELECT * FROM `fathers` WHERE (`fathers`.`id` = 1)

Child Load (0.000355) SELECT `children`.* FROM `children` WHERE (`children`.father_id IN (1))

Child Columns (0.010973) SHOW FIELDS FROM `children`

Boy Load (0.000381) SELECT * FROM `boys` WHERE (`boys`.id IN ('1','2') AND (boys.age < 10))

Boy Load (0.000317) SELECT * FROM `boys` WHERE (`boys`.`id` = 2)

Creating a feature request

Please don't. If you want a new feature in Rails, you'll have to pull up your sleeves and get busy yourself. Or convince someone else to do it. See the contributor guide on how to get going. But posting them here is just going to lead to ticket root.

Creating a bug report

When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.

Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to security@rubyonrails.org, do not use trac for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in trac is publicly available as soon as it is posted.

Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too".
