Hi,
with our plugin, we are increasingly running into issues with the hard- to-predict table alias assignment in ActiveRecord. The alias assignment currently depends on the order of join associations to one table. When using named_scopes with flexible joins, it is hard to predict the table alias for conditions.
I would be happy to provide a patch for a more predictable association table alias scheme and described an API in
Please have a look and let me know what you think about that approach.
Cheers, Steffen
