inverse_of returns nil when enriching has_many association with updates #258
Description
inverse_of returns nil
I'm running into a strange issue where inverse_of returns nil although I have declared it in the model.
For example, I have two models, Listing which has many Listings::PublishActions.
# Listing
has_many :publish_actions, class_name: "Listings::PublishAction", dependent: :destroy, foreign_key: :listing_id, enable_updates: true, inverse_of: :listing
# Listing::PublishAction
belongs_to :listing, class_name: "Listing"Inside of enrich_association_with_updates, this line gets the inverse_of reflection:
inverse_of = reflection.inverse_of&.name&.to_s
This is returning nil for me, and I get an error from the collection registry.
inverse_name has the proper value
Although this is nil, inverse_name has the proper key, and the options have the inverse_of declaration inside of it as well:
[5] pry(Listing)> self
=> Listing(id: integer, team_id: integer, name: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime)
[6] pry(Listing)> name
=> :publish_actions
[7] pry(Listing)> reflect_on_association(name)
=> #<ActiveRecord::Reflection::HasManyReflection:0x00007f4b1e4d97f0
@active_record=
Listing(id: integer, team_id: integer, name: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime),
@class_name="Listings::PublishAction",
@inverse_name=:listing,
@inverse_of=nil,
@klass=
Listings::PublishAction(id: integer, listing_id: integer, started_at: datetime, completed_at: datetime, target_count: integer, performed_count: integer, scheduled_for: datetime, sidekiq_jid: string, created_by_id: integer, approved_by_id: integer, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime),
@name=:publish_actions,
@options=
{:class_name=>"Listings::PublishAction",
:dependent=>:destroy,
:foreign_key=>:listing_id,
:inverse_of=>:listing,
:extend=>[ExtendHasMany::ClassMethods, ObfuscatesId::ClassMethods]},
@plural_name="publish_actions",
@scope=nil>
[8] pry(Listing)> reflect_on_association(name).inverse_of
=> nil
This doesn't happen however when firing up the Rails console and grabbing the reflection that way:
> rails c
Loading development environment (Rails 7.0.4.2)
irb(main):001:0> Listing.reflect_on_association(:publish_actions).inverse_of
=>
#<ActiveRecord::Reflection::BelongsToReflection:0x00007f50ddbdb098
@active_record=Listings::PublishAction (call 'Listings::PublishAction.connection' to establish a connection),
@klass=nil,
@name=:listing,
@options={:class_name=>"Listing"},
@plural_name="listings",
@scope=nil>
Also, everything works by simply removing enable_updates: true, which led me to believe it's something going on here. For what it's worth, it's happening in a Bullet Train application, but it doesn't seem like it's something there. I wish I could give more details, but that's about all I can glean from the code right now.
