Using namespaced classed does not work

[OneDivZero]

Hi, I started using rolify but I ran into several problems, if I want to use my User-Class which is namespaced via "Auth::User".

Running: rails generate rolify:role "Auth::Role" "Auth::User"

Causes: a nonworking migrationfile starting with:
class RolifyCreateAuth::Roles < ActiveRecord::Migration # look at the ::Roles

and each table got named with slashed like:
create_table(:auth/roles) do |t|

OK I changed the whole stuff such that is uses underscores instead of slashes and also updates the model-files such that:

class Auth::Role < ActiveRecord::Base
#OLD: has_and_belongs_to_many :auth/users, :join_table => :auth/users_auth/roles
has_and_belongs_to_many :auth_users, :join_table => :auth_users_roles
belongs_to :resource, :polymorphic => true
attr_accessible :name
end

AND

class Auth::User < ActiveRecord::Base

rolify:role_cname => 'Auth::Role'
has_and_belongs_to_many :auth_roles, :join_table => :auth_users_roles
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me
end

But when I try to setup a seeds.rb like:

role1 = Auth::Role.create! :name => 'guest'
role2 = Auth::Role.create! :name => 'root'
user1 = Auth::User.create! :email => 'approot@test.de', :password => 'test', :password_confirmation => 'test'
user1.add_role :root

it causes an exception:
SQLite3::SQLException: no such table: auth/users_auth/roles: SELECT 1 FROM "auth_roles" INNER JOIN "auth/users_auth/rol
es" ON "auth_roles"."id" = "auth/users_auth/roles"."role_id" WHERE "auth/users_auth/roles"."user_id" = 1 AND "auth_roles
"."id" = 2 LIMIT 1

It seems that rolify has some hardcoded statements ?! Or what could be the problem ? Have I missed another option ?

Thanks in advance, Micha

I'm also using namespaces, and running into exactly the same problem. If I'm reading the code correctly, the issue lies in lib\rolify.rb, line 21:

rolify_options.merge!({ :join_table => "#{self.to_s.tableize}_#{options[:role_cname].tableize}" }) if Rolify.orm == "active_record"

I reckon I'm going to fork this and then pass the join table through as an option. Will send through pull request if I come right fixing the namespace support.

Hi,

are you using folder naming convention to split your user classes ? like app/models/auth/user.rb and app/models/auth/role.rb in your case ?
I don't think you should create your table like that: create_table(:auth/roles) but I don't use namespace ActiveRecord models often, I may be wrong.

Huh long time ago, yes I placed my files according to naming convention. Did you notice the slashes in sql-exception ? I continued using rolify without a namespace, but this is not my prefered 'workaround'. Would be nice, if this get's fixed.

Hi guys, I've got a fork that is handing namespaces, I just need to get around to submitting a pull request. Not long hopefully :)

I have run into this issue myself and have solved it by replacing the use of tabelize on the class name to calling table_name on the class itself. This will always return the correct table name.

I have also updated this in the activerecord connector but have left the MongoDB connector as is as I do not use it and I have no means to test it.

I will attach a pull request for this.

namespaced models should be supported now. You can look in the specs to see how to use them.
I only tweaked the table_prefix setting in the ActiveRecord model to make it work properly.

Hey thanks for doing this. But currently I discovered some problems to get this working in the right way:
Im working with this in my Gemfile: gem "rolify", ">= 3.2.0", :git => "https://github.com/EppO/rolify.git"

And first of all, the generators do not work, they still adding slashed instead of underscores to all relevant definitions. When i try to do some seeding, I'm getting this exception:

SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: auth_users_auth_roles.user_id: SELECT 1 FROM "auth_roles" INNER JOIN "auth_users _auth_roles" ON "auth_roles"."id" = "auth_users_auth_roles"."role_id" WHERE "auth_users_auth_roles"."user_id" = 2 AND "auth_roles"."id" = 1 LIMIT 1

So I fixed manually the migration to
t.references :user
t.references :role

and updated all index-defintions. Now I'm able to perform the seeding. But I'm aksing myself, if I could run into more problems, cause of this manually fix ?! Did I miss anything? Thanks in advance

Right, the generator has not been modified as far as I remember. I will look into it to make them support namespaced models
