Eager Loading does not work for Polymorphic Relationships

Reported by Orion Delwaterman | August 14th, 2008 @ 06:58 PM | in 2.x

The ActiveRecord class method "find"'s include option does not work with polymorphic relationships:

migratation

class CreateSampleMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up

create_table :content_items do |t|
  t.string :name, :null => false
  t.timestamps
end

create_table :system_blobs do |t|
  t.integer :blobable_id, :null => false
  t.string :blobable_type, :null => false, :limit => 100
  t.binary :data, :limit => 2.megabytes
  t.timestamps
end

end end

ContentItem model

Class ContentItem < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :system_blob, :as => "blobable",

                    :dependent => :delete

end

SystemBlob model

class SystemBlob < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :blobable, :polymorphic => true end

Test code

c = ContentItem.new(:name => "test") c.save! c.create_system_blob(:data => "TEST_DATA")

found_c = ContentItem.find(:first, :conditions => {:name => "test"}, :include => :system_blob found_c.system_blob

=> nil

found_c.system_blob(true)

=> <#SystemBlob ...

    • → Tag changed from “activerecord "layer idsearchwp-highlighting9 highlightterm-3 classsearchwp-termeagerlayer_layer idsearchwp-highlighting10 highlightterm-4 classsearchwp-termloadinglayer"” to “activerecord eager_loading ploymorphic”

    Do the queries made look sane ?

    Oops, not sure what happened with the tags there! I bashed in your code against edge and 2.1 and couldn't reproduce it

Creating or reviewing a patch

See the contributor guide.

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".
