has_one :through issue

Hi.

I'd like to hear your opinions about the following issue.

I set up associations like this: class User   has_one :user_info   has_many :bank_infos end

class UserInfo   belongs_to :user end

class BankInfo   belongs_to :user   has_one :user_info, :through => :user end

Then given a user with user_info present I build a bank_info: bank_info = user.bank_infos.build

and I expect bank_info.user_info to equal bank_info.user.user_info, however I get nil. The reason I get nil is the condition for loading associated object in method load_target: http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/associations/association_proxy.rb#L223 in line 236

Do you think its reasonable to make bank_info.user_info to load the associated object in the case described above?

It seems reasonable to me. Can you file a ticket in lighthouse and assign it to me?

Thanks.

I have created a ticket on lighthouse before, and even assigned a patch. Well, I'm not sure if this patch is correct, or it should work some other way. Take a look please: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/5854-has_one-through-on-new-record-doesnt-query-for-associated-object

So, is anybody going to do something with that? :slight_smile:

I will get to it. I have a lot on my plate, but it will happen. :slight_smile:
