Add has_many :miq_requests in ServiceTemplate

[bzwei]

Add has_many :miq_requests association in ServiceTemplate.
It helps to find out all the miq_requests made from the service_template

Is .order(:created_on) really required here? I feel like this should be left to the caller to append if needed.

Also, does this need to be accessible from the API? cc @abellotti

[bzwei]

I can remove the sorting. Was following examples from other model.
Checked with @abellotti. No changed is needed from API side.

[bdunne]

Isn't this as simple as has_many :miq_requests, :as => :source?

[Fryguy]

yeah, this feels like revinventing Rails.

[gmcculloug]

@bzwei Can you take a look at the two rubocop issues.

[kbrock]

Can you put in 1 test to make sure the 2 models link together properly.

Rubocop is complaining about:

• :dependent says want to do to the remote fields if this record is deleted.
• :inverse_of says the inverse of this relationship. Which seems odd since they are not compatible with :polymorphic => true or :as associations. Hence why I suggest a trivial test.

I'm thinking you want:

has_many :miq_requests, :as => :source, :dependent => :nullify

maybe throw in :inverse_of => "source" for kicks

[gmcculloug]

@kbrock Have the robot overloads officially taken over? Should we really be adding :inverse_of based on rubocop feedback when the Active Record doc says:

There are a few limitations to :inverse_of support:

They do not work with :through associations.
They do not work with :polymorphic associations.
They do not work with :as associations.

From: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html

[gmcculloug]

@bzwei I am in favor of dropping :inverse_of from the association since it appears to be useless and adding it here is confusing.

As for tests, I would not expect you to test this association alone, but where this is used. What is the intended purpose of this change and can those changes be included in this PR and tested?

[bzwei]

The purpose of the PR is for API to be able to include miq_requests as an attribute.

[bdunne]

👍 Yeah, we generally avoid testing Rails things (like relations) since they're usually tested through many other paths.
