delete lines 196, 213-214, in both cases the "groups" relation is defined
by the backref parameter supplied on lines 178 and 179 respectively.
In use, any access of identity.current.permissions causes an
AttributeNotFound exception in the loop on line 200.
I posted a failing test based on Group and User to the sqlalchemy group
and Michael Bayer confirmed:
OK, well theres not too much of a bug here, except that when ActiveMapper
has a circular relationship between two classes (comprised of more than
one relationship(), that is), it fails to set up the relationships on
either class. theres no immediate fix for this; while the compilation of
plain (non-Active) mappers is able to handle a circular relationship like
that, the way activemapper compiles on top of it is not quite as flexible.
jonathan and i had talked about a way to add some extra string-based
argument capabilities to Mapper/relation() so that a lot more of the
compilation code in ActiveMapper could just be removed which would
probably eliminate this issue.
however, the reason its not super-critical is because this relationship is
a backref relationship, which means youre only supposed to set it up on
one class, where "backref" handles the other direction:
class foo(activemapper.ActiveMapper):
class mapping:
name = column(String(30))
class baz(activemapper.ActiveMapper):
class mapping:
name = column(String(30))
foorel = many_to_many("foo", secondarytable,
backref='bazrel')
