"has 1" association ignores :required => false

Reported by Alex | August 18th, 2010 @ 08:18 PM 

has 1, :author, 'Person', 
       :child_key  => [:author_id],
       :required => false

This results in a foreign key property with :required => true. Not sure if this is by design, but seems that a has 1 should be an optional relationship. You can of course create the property yourself to declare it :required => false to get around this issue.

    I'm also experiencing this issue.

    @Alex: I'd like to be able to use the workaround mentioned above, can you elaborate on where the property should be created?

    I've this in my model:

    has 1, :client, :required => false

    but I'm still getting 'projects.client_id may not be NULL'

    Any ideas?

    • State changed from “new” to “unconfirmed”

    Try declaring :required => false on the belongs_to on the "other side" of the relationship.

    Thanks Dan, in the meantime I had done just that:

      belongs_to :client, :required => false
    That solved it for me anyway.
