From 4f107da4ffafa2b77d87fc5a6fb09fa34343184c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ernie Miller Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 15:39:42 -0400 Subject: Raise MissingAttributeError on query methods When calling a query method on an attribute that was not selected by an ActiveRecord query, an ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError is not raised. Instead, a nil value is returned, which will return false once cast to boolean. This is undesirable, as we should not give the impression that we know the attribute's boolean value when we haven't loaded the attribute's (possibly) non-boolean value from the database. This issue is present on versions going back as far as 2.3, at least. --- activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/query.rb | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'activerecord/lib') diff --git a/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/query.rb b/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/query.rb index 483fd8f4f8..0f9723febb 100644 --- a/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/query.rb +++ b/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/query.rb @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ module ActiveRecord end def query_attribute(attr_name) - value = read_attribute(attr_name) + value = read_attribute(attr_name) { |n| missing_attribute(n, caller) } case value when true then true -- cgit v1.2.3
