Not able to do find on associations in rails3

Rails
#1

I am using rails3 edge.

class user < AR
has_many :books
end

Following statement is failing in console.

User.first.books.find(:conditions => {:title => ‘ror’})

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound: Couldn’t find Book without an ID

It is such a basic thing that I am sure can’t fail.

Is it working fine for others?

Please test it with rails edge and not with beta3.

Thanks

Don’t you need find(:all, :conditions…) or is that a rails 3 change?

No. It is not a rails3 thing. It was just me being stupid.

Can’t believe I missed that. Spent so much time on this.

Thanks

Nadal, the above syntax is marked for deprecation in Rails 3.1. Thus, I
would recommend using the newer
interfaces. Thus, you can write the above by doing the following:

User.first.books.where( :title => ‘ror’ )

I would recommend taking a look at the following screen cast:

Also, Pratik has an excellent post on the subject that you can find
here:

Good luck,
