the results. Added tests to check to make sure that inverse associations are
automatically found when has_many, has_one, or belongs_to associations
are defined.
Method compilation provides better performance and I think the code
comes out cleaner as well.
A knock on effect is that methods that get redefined produce warnings. I
think this is a good thing. I had to deal with a bunch of warnings
coming from our tests, though.
Improve the derivation of HABTM join table name to take account of nesting.
It now takes the table names of the two models, sorts them lexically and
then joins them, stripping any common prefix from the second table name.
Some examples:
Top level models
(Category <=> Product)
Old: categories_products
New: categories_products
Top level models with a global table_name_prefix
(Category <=> Product)
Old: site_categories_products
New: site_categories_products
Nested models in a module without a table_name_prefix method
(Admin::Category <=> Admin::Product)
Old: categories_products
New: categories_products
Nested models in a module with a table_name_prefix method
(Admin::Category <=> Admin::Product)
Old: categories_products
New: admin_categories_products
Nested models in a parent model
(Catalog::Category <=> Catalog::Product)
Old: categories_products
New: catalog_categories_products
Nested models in different parent models
(Catalog::Category <=> Content::Page)
Old: categories_pages
New: catalog_categories_content_pages
Also as part of this commit the validity checks for HABTM assocations have
been moved to ActiveRecord::Reflection One side effect of this is to move when
the exceptions are raised from the point of declaration to when the association
is built. This is consistant with other association validity checks.
