Can't create multiple level self-joined relation

[dsounded]

let's say I have associations like this:

belongs_to :parent, class_name: 'SomeClass', inverse_of: :children
has_many :children, class_name: 'SomeClass', foreign_key: :parent_id, inverse_of: :parent

And when I build self-joined forms like this

<%= link_to_add_association f, :children, { partial: 'class/partials/class_fields' } %>

I have infinity loop, I have read about making a limitation for the multiple nesting, but any chances to deal without it ?

I am assuming your partial contains the same link_to_add_association again.

Every link_to_add_association is pre-rendered at server side. If you do not limit the nesting it will indeed create an endless loop.

If you need to have indefinite nesting, maybe cocoon is not the best tool for you, and you should maybe be using ajax/xhr.

@nathanvda yeah, I see, nested_form can't do the same also, maybe it's not really a good choice in the situation, anyway just wanted to know if it works now, because other topics were way too old.

Thanks, I think we can close it.
