Question

Note: Full code can be found at http://github.com/basicxman/andrewhorsman.net

I have a Tag model and an Article model which are in a HABTM relationship via a Tagging model. When I try to do a find query on Article while including the association, it fails.

ruby-1.9.2-p136 :003 > Article.find(:all, :include => :tags)
  Article Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "articles".* FROM "articles" 
  Tagging Load (0.2ms)  SELECT "taggings".* FROM "taggings" WHERE "taggings"."article_id" IN (1)

Here’s what the current records look like:

ruby-1.9.2-p136 :005 > Article.all
  Article Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "articles".* FROM "articles" 
 => [#<Article id: 1, title: "testing", author: "test", content: "ohi", published_at: nil, stage: 0, last_commit_date: nil, created_at: "2011-07-01 07:06:08", updated_at: "2011-07-01 07:06:08", content_html: nil, hash: "84faf770-85de-012e-112f-109add4b71f4">] 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :006 > Tagging.all
  Tagging Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "taggings".* FROM "taggings" 
 => [#<Tagging id: 1, article_id: 1, tag_id: 1, created_at: "2011-07-01 07:06:19", updated_at: "2011-07-01 07:06:19">] 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :007 > Tag.all
  Tag Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "tags".* FROM "tags" 
 => [#<Tag id: 1, keyword: "testing", created_at: "2011-07-01 07:06:19", updated_at: "2011-07-01 07:06:19">] 

And the three models,

Article.rb

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :taggings, :dependent => :destroy
  has_many :tags, :through => :taggings

Tag.rb

class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :taggings, :dependent => :destroy
  has_many :articles, :through => :taggings

Tagging.rb

class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :article
  belongs_to :tag

Answer 1

Found the issue, I had a column in Article named hash, SQLite doesn’t like this.
