@tiagopog I'd like to recommend to invoke the primary_key method just once before of .to_sym
calling. e.g:
klass = type == :belongs_to ? association_class : name.constantize
klass.primary_key.to_sym

@zilkey uh, I was wondering here whether it's really necessary to keep the support for the old/deprecated Rails' |
What's this PR do?
It changes the use of
#find_by_id
in favor of#find_by
. It also refactors some portion of the code related to the associations macros (belongs_to
,has_one
,has_many
).TODOs
#find_by
rather than#find_by_*
when fetching single associations;Background context
Recently we went through a weird situation at Beauty Date while running our seeds file. It turned out that a model based on
ActiveHash
was not retrieving abelongs_to
association for calling the underlying#find_by_id
on the related model and returningnil
.I did a little debug and figured out that, unlike the
#find_by_*
, calling the#find_by
method was actually working as expected. I don't know yet the reason for this bug to be happening apparentlyonly when executing the seed task, but maybe it's something related to the seed context and the metaprogamming applied while defining those dynamic finders. I sure will need to make a deeper debug on it.
For now this fork has fixed the issue and I also think that avoiding unnecessary metaprogramming is a good practice (safer, faster etc).
