Hi,
I have an class that looks like this:
class Section < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :offering, :foreign_key => :parent_id has_many :memberships, :as => :member_of has_many :students, :through => :memberships, :source => :user, :joins => "inner join roles onmemberships.role_id = roles.id", :conditions =>"roles.name = 'Student'" end
This doesn't work, though, because :joins isn't an allowed key. From associations.rb:
def create_has_and_belongs_to_many_reflection(association_id, options, &extension) options.assert_valid_keys( :class_name, :table_name, :join_table, :foreign_key, :association_foreign_key, :select, :conditions, :include, :order, :group, :limit, :offset, :uniq, :finder_sql, :delete_sql, :insert_sql, :before_add, :after_add, :before_remove, :after_remove, :extend, :readonly, :validate )
I added :joins to the list of allowed keys, and it made my tests pass, but I want to check that I'm not doing something silly. Is there a particular reason that :joins isn't an allowed key for has_many :through?
