Fixed AssociationCollection#<< resulting in unexpected values in @target when :uniq => true

Reported by Ernie Miller | August 2nd, 2008 @ 04:49 PM | in 2.x

When AssociationCollection#<< is called, it invokes #add_record_to_target_with_callbacks, which doesn't pay any attention to the reflection's :uniq option before pushing to the @target array, and can result in unexpected values showing up in @target until @target is reloaded. This patch resolves this issue.

    +1 for this feature. Should we fire callbacks for already duplicate records?

    In patch:

    @target << record unless @reflection.options[:uniq] && @target.include?(record) callback(:after_add, record)

    Why not:

    unless @target.include?(record) @target << record unless @reflection.options[:uniq] callback(:after_add, record) end

    Cheers.

    I debated about that. In the end, since ActiveRecord doesn't actually prevent duplicate records in the DB, but only in the @target array, when :uniq is set, I felt it would be presumptuous to mess with callbacks. There could be a very legitimate bit of data massaging going on there.

    Shouldn't it raise an exception if you try to do this? Silently ignoring the call seems like a potential cause of lots of bugs.
