Hi.
I have a has_many relation with a hashed condition, taking from the RI
doc:
:conditions
Specify the conditions that the associated objects must
meet in order to be included as a WHERE SQL fragment, such
as price > 5 AND name LIKE ‘B%’. Record creations from the
association are scoped if a hash is used. has_many :posts,
:conditions => {:published => true} will create published
posts with @blog.posts.create or @blog.posts.build.
I wonder why the behaviour of @blog.posts<< is not also modified when
using hashed conditions. The thing is when I have :conditions =>
{:published => true}
and issue @blog.posts.create(:published => false) will result in a new
(published) post, i.e. it will override the :published attributes,
the same holds for @blog.posts.build(:published => false), but when I
do a @blog.posts << Post.new(:published => false), it will not be
overruled by my condition, it will not even fail my condition. It will
simply end up in the database outside the scope of the condition.
Is this a design decision (of the has_many :condition attribute)? or
is this actually a bug/feature request?
