Rails Ruby on Rails

I've had big problems with this bug in 2.0.2 & 2.0.3.

In Rails Edge (2.0.3) and 2.0.2, I'm having problems with has_many associations where there are colliding names for id fields. The #{model}_id of the associated record takes the #{model}_id value from the join table, not it's own value.

I have:

Emails

has_many contacts

Contact

has_one :user

has_one :contact, :class_name => 'User' (foreign_key: contact_id)

Join Table, contacts_emails

t.integer :email_id

t.integer :contact_id

Note that a column named "contact_id" is in two tables: contacts and contacts_emails.

If you call emails.contacts, you'll get an array of Contacts, obviously.

The bug is that the array that's returned of Contacts will have contact_id set to the contact_id that's in the joining contacts_emails row, not that's in the contacts row.

Example

contacts_emails

------------------

email_id | contact_id

1 3

contacts

------------------

id | email_id | contact_id

3 1 2

users

------------------

id | first_name

2 User

If you do emails.contacts, one Contact will be returned (which is correct).

emails.contacts[0].contact_id will be 3, not 2 as it should be in the table above.

emails.contacts[0].reload.contact_id will correctly be 2.

This is caused because there is a collision on contact_id. If I change contact's contact_id to contact_user_id, it works perfectly.
