STI object instantiation from base class

Reported by Nicolas G. | December 15th, 2010 @ 09:25 AM | in 1.1

Using a simple STI hierarchy with DataMapper 1.0.2:

class Person
  include DataMapper::Resource
  
  property :name, String
  property :type, Discriminator
end

class Father < Person
  property :kids, Integer
end

class Son < Person; end

When I instantiate a Father by its base class:

p= Person.first(:name => 'Daddy')
I get a Father instance but with its property 'kids' marked as immutable. Trying to access it trows an 'Immutable resource cannot be lazy loaded' exception.

The workaround I found is reloading the object from its class:

p = p.class.get(p.id)
but this is obviously not optimal.

    You are right, it was only happening when I was redefining the id property on the child class which was obviously an error on my side:

    class Person
  include DataMapper::Resource

  property :id,   Serial
  property :name, String
  property :type, Discriminator
end

class Father < Person
  property :id,   Serial # Shouldn't do this
  property :kids, Integer
end

    Thanks a lot for the response and I will try to be more methodical on my bug reports from now on.
