Associations.rb throws exception

Is this still an issue? The method does not convert the passed-in name to a string, perhaps it should.

This is from ActiveRecord test cases.

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :limit_by, lambda {|l| limit(l) }
  scope :containing_the_letter_e, :conditions => "comments.body LIKE '%e%'"
  scope :for_first_post, :conditions => { :post_id => 1 }
  scope :for_first_author,
              :joins => :post,
              :conditions => { "posts.author_id" => 1 }

end

Comment.for_first_post.for_first_author.all

Notice that :joins is accepting table name as symbol. And this test passes successfully.

@Jeroen : Can you provide more information about your model and query so that I could create a failing test case.

thanks

Hi Neeraj, below you can find the two models:

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_primary_key :products_id
  has_and_belongs_to_many :languages, :join_table => :products_to_languages, :foreign_key => :products_id, :association_foreign_key => :products_languages_id, :conditions => {:languagenav_id => DVDPost.product_languages[I18n.locale.to_s]}
end

class Language < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name :products_languages
  set_primary_key :languages_id
  has_and_belongs_to_many :products, :join_table => :products_to_languages, :foreign_key => :products_languages_id, :association_foreign_key => :products_id
end

It happens when you do a habtm with a custom join table. These models are mapped to a (nasty) legacy db.
Once I would change the join tables to a string instead of a symbol my problem was fixed. As you can see in my previous post I tracked down the exeption and it’s basically downcase that gets called on a symbol which doesn’t exist.

It happens on here

It seems that this issue has been resolved in Rails 3. At least this code has been refactored.
