When I run this code, the result is that when Author is first used,
the 'mapper_configured' event will fire and my print_stuff function
callback will run.
The results is this:

Should not the backref be configured at that point? What I'm trying
to do is use the mapper_configured event in order to autocreate
marshamallow-sqlalchemy schemas, which works fine except that because
books doesn't exist at the point when the callback function runs, the
resulting schema is also missing the books part.
If I do this instead:
|
author = Author(name='Chuck Paluhniuk')
print_stuff(None, Author)
|
Then the result is:
|
Author.books
|
so you can see what's happening here. Author.books is being set up,
but not within the event. In this case Author is being configured
before Book, and as far as it knows, that's it, it's done. The event
is called. Book hasn't been touched so therefore neither has
"books". Only outside of the whole thing, where Book also got set
up, does your inspection work.
The solution is to either use back_populates instead of backref, which
is probably the only way the ORM would have done it today if starting
again, or use the "after_configured()" event
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_1_0/orm/events.html#sqlalchemy.orm.events.MapperEvents.after_configured
which is intentionally here so that you can do things that require all
known mappers to be fully set up, which is the case here.
As is so often the case I'm horrified the API docs don't have cross
linking here. doing that..
I've pushed up new descriptions and full cross-linking between
configure_mappers(), mapper_configured(), before_configured() and
after_configured(), for 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, master. Should be up on the site
in a little while.
