Polymorphic has_many through source problem

rubyonrails-talk
1

My issue is as follows:

I have a model with 2 polymorphic associations - authorisable and permissible.

In my current example, permissible represents an Account model and authorisable is a User model

I need to be able to do find the users in an account by @account.users

Account.rb

has_many :permissions, :as => :permissible has_many :users, :through => :permissions, :source => :authorisable

Permission.rb belongs_to :permissible, :polymorphic => true belongs_to :authorisable, :polymorphic => true

The error I'm receiving is: Cannot have a has_many :through association 'Account#users' on the polymorphic object 'Authorisable#authorisable'

I'm confused, can anybody help?

The error message says it all - it's not currently possible to do a has_many :through on a polymorphic association...
