Child might not be named correctly about rabl

[nesquena]

Yes, I do see your point, it is introspecting the class name while it could just use the name provided. I will look into fixing this sometime soon.

Ok awesome. I'll see if I can't hack something together also. Although it might break more than it fixed ha, jk.

Note to self and you, here is where it needs to be changed:

• https://github.com/nesquena/rabl/blob/master/lib/rabl/helpers.rb#L16
• https://github.com/nesquena/rabl/blob/master/lib/rabl/builder.rb#L74

[Note to self] Make sure this fix, fixes this issue as well: #29

[nesquena]

(Heads up) Might be a few days until I have a chance to get to this since the workaround is easy but obviously pull requests welcome :)

[fourcolors]

No worries. That will give me a chance to try and create something ha. I'm like a yellow belt in code fu.

[nesquena]

Going to close this, not sure it's still relevant. If it is, open a new issue.

Thanks. I actually forgot about this ticket! I'm sorry I didn't actually work on it. That was pretty irresponsible on my part. I did look at the source but ended up kind of scratching my head. I'm still trying to get used to open source projects. Anyway thanks for the project, it's a life saver.

@nesquena would you mind re-opening this ticket? I bumped up against this same issue (belongs_to :author, class_name: 'User' necessitates :author => :author in my show.rabl). It's an easy fix in my code, but feels like a hack nonetheless.

[nesquena]

@akre54 I believe this captures it? #330

[akre54]

@nesquena nope, no dice.

child @author != child :author => :author, since :author is a relation (comment belongs_to author, author has_many comments) and not an instance variable. Not a huge deal, just a little unexpected to workaround it like this.

[nesquena]

Got it, will take care of both these cases in the future, thanks for reminding me of the issue.
