Nested find(:all, :include => []) statements

Rails
1

Is there a way for me to do:

OrderItem.find(:all, :include => [:user, :product => [:supplier]]

So I don’t have a supplier_id on my order_item, but have it on my
product, which is part of order_item.

I think this is only possible in edgerails. Alternatively, you can use
find_by_sql

Running EdgeRails. Would you know what the syntax is?

Edge rails supports cascading eager loading. You would do:

OrderItem.find(:all, :include => [:user, { :product => :supplier } ]

I’m not sure I understand your example, but if you’re looking for nested
finds, the new way is to use
with_scope

The syntax for cascading eager loading does not work for me:

It ends up looking for an association called :productsupplier. I’ve
tried it using quotes instead, and I get the same problem.

Have you got this working? I am using an EdgeRails version a few days
old -> the current one throws an error starting WEBrick.

Cool - thanks.

It was added in r3769, so anything after that should work.

It works fine for me. Double check you’ve got the correct names for the
associations you are including.

It’s working thanks - got the latest version and commented out some
lines in the server.rb file to make WEBrick start up again.
