Forum: Rails-core (closed, excessive spam) has_many associations and count

Hello core,

When using conditions from a variable, it can sometimes be an empty
hash (at least in my projects). When using it with count on a
ActiveRecord::Base:

User.count :conditions => {}
# => 3
But when working on a has_many association, this happens:

 >> User.first.certificates.count :conditions => {}
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: #42000You have an error
in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL
server version for the right syntax to use near '))' at line 1: SELECT
count(*) AS count_all FROM `certificates` WHERE
(`certificates`.user_id = 442758120 AND ())

a patch to this bug can be found on
