For reference, the code I'm proposing to remove was added in #40835
Using
alias_attribute
to alias an association is not an indented use case. This commit removesalias_attribute
calls to alias an association along with the relevant tests. However, it doesn't mean that the commit brakes any current behaviors.Currently running Active Record tests result in a bunch of deprecation warnings issued related to
alias_attribute :entry, :post
definition.Example:
This is a falsey warning so in order to get rid of it we have two options:
alias_attribute
being used to alias an associationalias_attribute
usages to alias an association so the warning goes away with themSince aliasing an association using
alias_attribute
is not an intended use case I'm leaning towards removing it from the test suite.
