Question

I have the following in my controller to obtain a project’s team members:

@project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
@teammembers = @project.permissions.includes(:user).joins(:user, :role).select("*")

The problem here is that the user’s table belongs_to the instance model. And the instance model has a name, which I want in @teammembers.

I tried adding this in like follows:

@teammembers = @project.permissions.includes(:user).joins(:user, :role, :instance).select("*")

but that errors with: “Association named ‘instance’ was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?”

Which kinda makes sense since Permissions includes (user_id, role_id, and project_id)

Suggestions on how I can join the instance table for instance.name in this query so my view doesn’t hit the db so many times to look up the instance.name?

Thanks

Cleaned it up

Try this:

.joins({:user, :instance}, :role)
