AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

I am experiencing strange problems with a HABTM relationship in my
application.

The two models concerned are Role and RoleType. When attempting to set
the RoleTypes on a Role within my controllers I receive an error with
the attached stack trace (see bottom).

Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this error with a unit test, or
a functional test. I''ve even tried creating a new project to test the
exact bit of code, and still had no success reproducing the error.
I''ve also checked out the code on another computer and run up against
the same problems. This leads me to believe that the problem lies
somewhere I haven''t considered (i.e. outside the models /
controllers / migrations etc).

I''m basically looking for any pointers anyone might be able to offer
me. I''ve spent two and a half days (and counting) banging my head
against the wall on this one. I''m aware that this problem appears
similar to the below link but since there is no response to that
thread, and since the stack trace is quite different I thought I''d try
a post of my own.

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/149262683b0c078f/f1c81a1f756226d1?lnk=gst&q=AssociationTypeMismatch+&rnum=1#f1c81a1f756226d1


I''ve simplified the code to attempt to isolate the issue; the specific
bit of code I''m trying to run is:

    role = Role.find(1)
    role_type = RoleType.find(1)
    role.role_types = [role_type]

The exception is raised on the last line as I try to assign the list
of RoleTypes to the Role.

I''m running Lighttpd under XP with Rails 1.1.6 and Ruby 1.8.5

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

Elad,

Using:

    @role.role_types << RoleType.find(1)

instead of

    @role.role_types = [RoleType.find(1)]

gives exactly the same error. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

I do not see it.  You are going to have to look at the source of
associations.rb and association_proxy.rb to see what they are doing.

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

I am having this exactly this problem as well. I will follow Michael
Latta''s advice and poke around in the rails code.

The first time I encountered it I was trying to delete a relationship.
I worked around the problem by changing

    role = Role.find(1) # Already has association with RoleType obj
with id 1.
    role_type = RoleType.find(1)
    role.role_types.delete role_type

to

    role = Role.find(1)  # Already has association with RoleType obj
with id 1.
    for role_type in role.role_types
      if role_type.id == params[:roll_type.id].to_i
        role.role_type.delete tc
        break
      end
    end

Kloogey, I know, but I just wanted to get past the exception. The
workaround''s not going to help me when adding a relationship, though.

Oops. Error in the second code snippet. The line

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

I have had a bit of a look in association_proxy, and can not see why,
but it appears that line 147 is misbehaving.

association_proxy.rb:
147          unless record.is_a?(@reflection.klass)
148            raise ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch,
"#{@reflection.class_name} expected, got #{record.class}"
149          end

If I stick this debug in before 147:
          logger.debug "Reflection:#{@reflection.klass.inspect}"
          logger.debug "Record:#{record.class.inspect}"

I get:
Reflection:RoleType
Record:RoleType

out in the log, which looks correct to me. If I hack the raising of
the exception out, then this action works fine. I haven''t checked
it''s
effect on the rest of the app, since it doesn''t sound like a good
solution to me.

The most perculiar thing (which I have only just noticed) is that if I
resubmit a request that has failed immediately after restarting
Lighttpd, it works! So it looks like it''s something to do with the
initialisation of classes going wrong or something.

This rings true with the fact that I get warnings over constants
already being initialised when I run roles_controller_test.rb, or is
that normal for a functional test?

Perhaps that sheds some light on the situation...

Cheers, Hugh

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

In my application, the classes have different object id''s,
that''s why
the is_a? method returns false. This leads to another workaround,
where you change the test in association_proxy.rb, line 147 from

    unless record.is_a?(@reflection.klass)

to

    if record.class.name != @reflection.klass.name

which would be less dangerous that commenting out the assertion
entirely.

I also made the assertion go away by inserting ''require
role_type'' in
the class definition of an object of global scope that is instantiated
by environment.rb. I''m sure it''s bad form to have an object of
global
scope that is instantiated by environment.rb; I do plan to fix that.

I knew to try adding a require because I''ve had trouble with Rails
unloading classes. I haven''t investigating what Rails does along those
lines, but I only had the problem when running the web application,
not in the test environment. I''d try to instantiate one of my models
and I would get an exception along the lines of "<model> was part of
the tree but was unloaded".

My conjecture is that the RoleType class object that was used to set
@reflection.klass was subsequently unloaded, and then somehow in the
magic of Rails a new RoleType class object came into being, and
everything is actually fine, but those circumstances lead to the
exception being raised.

I''m fine with my solution for now, though at some point I''ll
need to
actually understand what Rails is doing with unloading and loading the
model classes.

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

Frederick

You''re exactly right, I hadn''t thought to look at object_ids
but they
are indeed different. It seems that @reflection.klass.object_id
remains the same between requests, but record.class.object_id changes.
At first I thought it was @reflection that was at fault, but after
reviewing the same debug performing another operation between two
models with a HABTM relationship I now see that the object_id of the
record''s class should be the same.

So it sounds exactly like Rails is for some reason reloading the class
on every request for the record object.

A minute ago, after reading your tip about requiring the class, I
added the line

    require File.dirname(__FILE__)+''/role_type.rb''

to role.rb, since I knew that that model was behaving properly. And
hey presto, it worked! So for now I have a workaround what I consider
to be a rails bug. And, I''m very happy to be able to move on after 4
days of head banging.

Many thanks for your help Frederick... I think I might go on to file a
bug report now.

Guys,

I had the exact same problem with Rails 1.2.3....have been banging my head
on the desk for a few hours and just found your post. I appreciate you
documenting the fix.

Has this been filed as a bug report?

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

We also ran into this issue, but only recently. I have a hunch it''s one
of the more recent plugins/gems we''ve installed not playing nicely with
RoR, but we have also been unable to trace down the core issue.

The following patch to association_proxy.rb preserves the semantics of
is_? by forcing an evaluation of the class name:

From
/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/active_record/associations/association_proxy.rb:146

        def raise_on_type_mismatch(record)
          unless record.is_a?(eval(@reflection.class_name))
            raise ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch,
"#{@reflection.class_name} #{@reflection.klass} #{
record.is_a?(eval(@reflection.class_name)) } expected, got
#{record.class}"
          end
        end

This also resolved the reloading issue for us. We are running memcached
w/ cached_model in dev - any similarity to your environments? This might
explain how an ID is reused across requests... although trying to revert
to ActiveRecord::Base instead of CachedModel did not avoid the
exception.

I''ve just applied Michael''s patch and sanity is restored.
I''m not using
memcache and the wierd thing for me is that this bug had arisen in some 
code which I had tested to death a few weeks back.

The problem I was getting was with a simple has_many ...

class Dataset < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :mapping, :dependent => :destroy
end


The code I''m using to create the parent and class is

record = Dataset.new

   # some attribute-setting lines omitted for clarity

   # each "header" corresponds to a new mapping for this dataset

@header.each do |h|
   m = Mapping.new

   # some lines omitted for clarity

   record.mapping << m
end

record.save


This all worked fine the first time through the code. Subsequent calls 
to this code raised the type mismatch with "Mapping expected, got 
Mapping"

This was driving me nuts. All is well now.

Re: AssociationTypeMismatch: RoleType expected, got RoleType

Hi All,

I also came across this issue, with the message "User expected, got
User", which is a very helpful msg of rails of course.. ;)

Anyways, there was a ticket for this, so more info is to be found
here:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8246

Note that I added Michael''s patch.  +1 it to get it into core.

Cheers,
Lawrence

Posting some of the code around clistings_controller.rb line 45 would help.
(although you might find you''re doing this:
  clisting.category = params[:clisting][:category]
rather than:
  clisting.category
Category.find_or_create_by_name(params[:clisting][:category])
or
  clisting.category_id = params[:clisting][:category]
or some other error relating to passing the Category association a
string... assuming your Clisting has an association to Category...)

Like I said, you''re likely to be passing a
params[:clisting][:category] value (which you probably should have
named "category_id" in your form) into your new Clisting. The clisting
expects a Category object in the category association, not a string
from params.

Do some debugging in this area, and see if that''s part of the problem.

If it''s a different problem, please start a different thread.
(this thread would be a good place for an update on your last
problem.... *hint*)
> can someone pls help out on this
It pretty much tells you all you need to know - @category is most likely nil.

As I think I mentioned in a previous mail, if you see ''nil'' in
an
error message it quite likely indicates that something is nil.  Since
the only variable on that line is @category I think there is a strong
possibility that it is nil.  The reason for that particular error is
that it is trying to find the name of the model that @category is, but
as it is nil the error is shown.
