Second try of #3260
Since Rails 5.1
belongs_to
associations are required by default. We used to disable this option globally with a ActiveRecord class setting. With this we make the Rails 5.1 default setting obsolote and turn this off app wide.The fun fact is, the tests all pass with this removed. But this has the potential to break stores if their data is not consistent.
We have several options to solve this
belongs_to
associationsoptional
I am in favor of the latter, so I made all
belongs_to
associations optional for now.Description
