:include and nested conditions hash

Reported by blj | May 1st, 2009 @ 10:56 PM | in 2.x


# All these works
User.find(:all,:include=>:bank_accounts, :conditions=>'bank_accounts.name="ICICI"') => [some users]
User.find(:all,:include=>:bank_accounts, :conditions=>{'bank_accounts.name' => "ICICI"}) => [some users again]
User.find(:all,:joins=>:bank_accounts, :conditions=>{:bank_accounts=>{:name=>'ICICI'}}) => [some users again and again]

# This does not work 
User.find(:all,:include=>:bank_accounts, :conditions=>{:bank_accounts=>{:name=>'ICICI'}}) => throws error with invalid SQL

#ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Unknown column 'bank_accounts.name' in 'where clause': SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE (`bank_accounts`.`name` = 'ICICI')

    The issue here is that the include table is not recognized as being in the conditions. The code that identifies the tables in conditions is expecting strings in the format of "table_name".column or table_name.column. A conditions hash like {:bank_accounts=>{:name=>'ICICI'}} results in the table name bank_accounts which does not match the expected formats.

    The solution provided in this patch uses the rails function for converting hashes to sql conditions to normalize the hash conditions so the same logic applied to string and array conditions will apply to hashes as well.

    that looks solid to me ... converting the hash to a sql string making it act like the rest of the conditions should be a good fix

    Can't we just change the code that recognizes the table names in the strings, to recognize these hashes?

    The problem is that it would not be able to tell the difference between column names from the find model and table names from included models. They both can appear as a simple name in the resulting string.

    The following method is the one that pulls out the table names based on a regex.

        def tables_in_string(string)
          return [] if string.blank?
          string.scan(/([\.a-zA-Z_]+).?\./).flatten
        end
    
    

    We can code the logic to determine whether or not the hash keys are table names, column names, or table.column strings and handle them appropriately but that logic is already in the function being used below. Maybe this is a good opportunity to refactor that logic out.

        def sanitize_sql_hash_for_conditions(attrs, table_name = quoted_table_name)
          attrs = expand_hash_conditions_for_aggregates(attrs)
    
          conditions = attrs.map do |attr, value|
            unless value.is_a?(Hash)
              attr = attr.to_s
    
              # Extract table name from qualified attribute names.
              if attr.include?('.')
                table_name, attr = attr.split('.', 2)
                table_name = connection.quote_table_name(table_name)
              end
    
              attribute_condition("#{table_name}.#{connection.quote_column_name(attr)}", value)
            else
              sanitize_sql_hash_for_conditions(value, connection.quote_table_name(attr.to_s))
            end
          end.join(' AND ')
    
          replace_bind_variables(conditions, expand_range_bind_variables(attrs.values))
        end

    After thinking on it a while, the following may be a better solution. I added a tables_in_hash method to handle the hash case.

    Please take a look and see if this looks better.

    Great work Anthony, applied to 2-3-stable and master.
