NameError (uninitialized constant Many-To-Many) Mono-transitive association in rails - ruby-on-rails

My many to many associations seem not to be working.
An example is this: where TasksTestMethods is the JoinTable
TasksTestMethods.all
TasksTestMethods Load (0.5ms) SELECT "tasks_test_methods".* FROM "tasks_test_methods" LIMIT $1 [["LIMIT", 11]]
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<TasksTestMethods task_id: 2, test_method_id: 1>]>
The join table in schema.rb looks like this
create_table "tasks_test_methods", id: false, force: :cascade do |t|
t.bigint "task_id", null: false
t.bigint "test_method_id", null: false
t.index ["task_id", "test_method_id"], name: "index_tasks_test_methods_on_task_id_and_test_method_id"
t.index ["test_method_id", "task_id"], name: "index_tasks_test_methods_on_test_method_id_and_task_id"
end
Now when I want to query for TestMethods for task with id of 2 as seen above.
task = Task.last
Task Load (0.9ms) SELECT "tasks".* FROM "tasks" ORDER BY "tasks"."id" DESC LIMIT $1 [["LIMIT", 1]]
=> #<Task id: 2, name: "", description: "", start_date: "2018-05-15", end_date: nil, order_number: "", material_type: nil, client_id: 1, drawing_number: nil, task_status_field: nil, invoice_number: nil, offshore_flag: 0, client_ref: "", contact_person: "", contact_person_phone: "", contact_person_email: "", testsite: "", information_to_operator: nil, client_online_order: nil, start_date_asap: nil, thickness: nil, testextent: nil, groove: nil, material_quality: nil, class_society: nil, welder_id: nil, project_id: nil, operator_id: nil, task_manager_id: 1, department_id: 5, created_at: "2018-05-14 22:13:08", updated_at: "2018-05-14 22:18:30", language_id: 2>
I get the following error when I run it like this
task.test_methods
Traceback (most recent call last):
1: from (irb):6
NameError (uninitialized constant Task::TasksTestMethod)
Same when I try for TestMethod
test_method = TestMethod.last
TestMethod Load (0.4ms) SELECT "test_methods".* FROM "test_methods" ORDER BY "test_methods"."id" DESC LIMIT $1 [["LIMIT", 1]]
=> #<TestMethod id: 1, name: "Visual Testing (VT)", code: nil, description: nil, category_id: 1, procedure_id: 1, created_at: "2018-05-15 07:06:51", updated_at: "2018-05-15 07:06:51">
I get this error:
test_method.tasks
Traceback (most recent call last):
1: from (irb):9
NameError (uninitialized constant TestMethod::TasksTestMethod)
I'm getting this same error for all JoinTables in my app.
What I'm I doing wrong? And my models are as follows:
class Task < ApplicationRecord
has_many :tasks_test_methods, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :test_methods, :through => :tasks_test_methods
end
class TestMethod < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :category
belongs_to :procedure
has_many :tasks_test_methods
has_many :tasks, :through => :tasks_test_methods
end
class TasksTestMethods < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :task
belongs_to :test_method
end
I also tried to rename the model name from TasksTestMethods to TasksTestMethod based on this error NameError (uninitialized constant Task::TasksTestMethod) but that didn't help.
Is there anything I'm missing?

Name your rb file containing this class properly, i.e. tasks_test_method.rb.

Find Non Orphan records in Rails

Following up on the question : Want to find records with no associated records in Rails
I am wondering how I can get all the NON orphan records returned as an AssociationRelation instead of an Array. When trying to subtract the total records of the table from the rails 6 .missing ones, the result is correct, but it's in the form of an array.
Here is a console example :
p = ProductResearch.first
(Product.all - p.products.where.missing(:keywords)).class
=> Array
How do I get the association ?
( With the help of #max below I found a query, without missing, that returns the expected result as an association. It's like :
irb(main):206:0> p.products.includes(:keywords).where.not(keywords: { id: nil }).class
=> Product::ActiveRecord_AssociationRelation
and it does return the non orphan ones only.
Given:
class Post < ApplicationRecord
has_many :comments
end
class Comment < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :post
end
class CreateComments < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]
def change
create_table :comments do |t|
# Referential integrity is for wusses! YOLO!
t.belongs_to :post, null: true, foreign_key: false
t.timestamps
end
end
end
p1 = Post.create!(title: 'Foo')
3.times { p1.comments.create! }
p2 = Post.create!(title: 'Bar')
3.times { p2.comments.create! }
p2.destroy! # orphans the comments
If you do an INNER JOIN on posts you will only get rows with at least one match in the join table:
irb(main):014:0> Comment.joins(:post)
Comment Load (0.3ms) SELECT "comments".* FROM "comments" INNER JOIN "posts" ON "posts"."id" = "comments"."post_id" LIMIT ? [["LIMIT", 11]]
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Comment id: 1, post_id: 1, created_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:04", updated_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:04">, #<Comment id: 2, post_id: 1, created_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:04", updated_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:04">, #<Comment id: 3, post_id: 1, created_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:04", updated_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:04">]>
This gives you the "non-orphaned" posts.
The opposite is of course an OUTER JOIN:
irb(main):016:0> Comment.left_joins(:post).where(posts: { id: nil })
Comment Load (0.3ms) SELECT "comments".* FROM "comments" LEFT OUTER JOIN "posts" ON "posts"."id" = "comments"."post_id" WHERE "posts"."id" IS NULL LIMIT ? [["LIMIT", 11]]
=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Comment id: 4, post_id: 2, created_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:26", updated_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:26">, #<Comment id: 5, post_id: 2, created_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:26", updated_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:26">, #<Comment id: 6, post_id: 2, created_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:26", updated_at: "2021-05-11 08:59:26">]>
Rails 6.1 added the .missing query method which is a shortcut for the above query:
Comment.where.missing(:post)

How to implement Parent Categories, Categories and Subcategories using self referencing controller in Rails 4

I am trying to implement a three level deep association using self referencing.
Cat1
Sub1
SubSub1
SubSub2
Sub2
Cat2
Sub1
Cat3
Sub1
Sub2
SubSub1
I am able to get the child category of a category by this relation:
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :sub_categories, class_name: "Category", foreign_key: :parent_id
end
This is fine when i have only two level deep category. For three level deep association using self referencing i tried using this relation, but failed to get the desired output.
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :parent_category, class_name: "Category"
has_many :sub_categories, class_name: "Category", foreign_key: :parent_id
end
here is what i get using this association.query fired on Category.find(3).parent_category is wrong.
2.0.0-p648 :012 > Category.find(2)
Category Load (1.2ms) SELECT `categories`.* FROM `categories` WHERE `categories`.`id` = 2 LIMIT 1
=> #<Category id: 2, title: "Suit", description: "sffdsfsxcx ssdfvvs", seo_name: "sfsdf", parent_id: nil, hoe_page: nil, status: true, sequence: "1", banner_image_file_name: nil, banner_image_content_type: nil, banner_image_file_size: nil, banner_image_updated_at: nil, image_file_name: nil, image_content_type: nil, image_file_size: nil, image_updated_at: nil, home_description: "adhkadaa", home_page: true, long_description: "sdfsddfffssssde", created_at: "2018-04-09 07:42:55", updated_at: "2018-04-09 07:42:55">
2.0.0-p648 :013 > Category.find(3)
Category Load (1.1ms) SELECT `categories`.* FROM `categories` WHERE `categories`.`id` = 3 LIMIT 1
=> #<Category id: 3, title: "a", description: "aaa", seo_name: "a", parent_id: 2, hoe_page: nil, status: true, sequence: "1", banner_image_file_name: nil, banner_image_content_type: nil, banner_image_file_size: nil, banner_image_updated_at: nil, image_file_name: nil, image_content_type: nil, image_file_size: nil, image_updated_at: nil, home_description: "aaa", home_page: true, long_description: "aaa", created_at: "2018-04-09 09:44:11", updated_at: "2018-04-09 09:44:11">
2.0.0-p648 :014 > Category.find(3).parent_category
Category Load (1.1ms) SELECT `categories`.* FROM `categories` WHERE `categories`.`id` = 3 LIMIT 1
=> nil
Please help me here by making me understand what would be the perfect association for my purpose. Please dont give me gem name like "Ancestry" or "awesome_nested_set", I need pure rails associations.
Try this:
belongs_to :parent_category, foreign_key: :parent_id, class_name: 'Category'
has_many :sub_categories, foreign_key: :parent_id, class_name: 'Category'

Updating Rails 4 Nested Attributes

The same thing is happening with the web interface. I can provide additional details if anyone needs them but I am allowing the parameters through and on creation, the initial values are saved.
I've been beating my head against this all morning and I suspect it is something stupid but I'm just not sure what to try next. Thanks!
UPDATE 1:
Equipment Model:
class Equipment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :site
belongs_to :type
has_and_belongs_to_many :properties
has_many :equipment_properties
accepts_nested_attributes_for :equipment_properties, reject_if: :all_blank, allow_destroy: true
end
And also the equipment_properties model:
class EquipmentProperty < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :equipment
belongs_to :property
has_one :type, through: :equipment
end
Also, of relevance might be that I can update the individual equipment_property without nesting and that does work.
UPDATE 2:
I managed to add this to the controller and it saves the values now. Not pretty but it works I guess...
equipment_params[:equipment_properties_attributes].each do |property|
ep = EquipmentProperty.where(id: property[1][:id]).first
#logger.debug "EP Value: #{ep.value}"
#logger.debug "Property Value: #{property[1][:value]}"
ep.value = property[1][:value]
ep.save
end
This is what I ended up adding to the controller to resolve this. Definitely a hack though and I'm not sure why the updates are taking:
equipment_params[:equipment_properties_attributes].each do |property|
ep = EquipmentProperty.where(id: property[1][:id]).first
#logger.debug "EP Value: #{ep.value}"
#logger.debug "Property Value: #{property[1][:value]}"
ep.value = property[1][:value]
ep.save
end

undefined method with has_many association

I have 2 models with a one-to-many association: User and Recipe. the User class has_many :recipes while the Recipe class belongs_to :user. I've already run the migration, reloaded the rails console, and checked to make sure that user_id is a column in the recipes table. Still, I get an undefined method error when I try to append a recipe to a user:
2.0.0-p598 :047 > user.recipes << Recipe.first
NoMethodError: undefined method `recipes' for #<User:0x00000004326fa0>
here is the migration code (I've already run rake db:migrate):
class AddUserIdToRecipes < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
add_column :recipes, :user_id, :integer
end
end
Here is the User model code:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :profile
has_many :recipes
end
Here is the Recipe model code:
class Recipe < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :title, :body
belongs_to :user
def long_title
"#{title} - #{published_at}"
end
end
Why does recipes still show up as an undefined method?
Try this on your console:
irb(main):007:0> user = User.new first_name: 'John', last_name: 'Doe'

you can see that Recipe.first has been inserted into user.recipes and its saved.
I made two models similar to yours, and have exactly the same setup as you. You can follow code above to write your controllers.

t.string 'menu_item_name'

end
add_index("menus","hotel_Id")
end
end
If you want to add first_menu to hotel.menus association, you should do:
hotel.menus << first_menu
The error occurs because Hotel#menus= setter expects collection of Menu objects as parameter.
hotel.menus is a relation. The association that you used returns an array of hotel menus.
To get the first member, a single menu, you could use hotel.menus.first.
If you want to create a new menu for a hotel, you'll probably be better off using:
hotel.menus.build(menu_item_name: 'Rajma', price: 30, item_type: 'Half')
hotel.save!
or the create form - depending on what else you want to do with the hotel or the menu, before you save.
