From 991bf24ec8890eca248a00deb4f33f309c9ffb83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean McGivern Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 17:22:18 +0000 Subject: Use latest_merge_request_diff association Compared to the merge_request_diff association: 1. It's simpler to query. The query uses a foreign key to the merge_request_diffs table, so no ordering is necessary. 2. It's faster for preloading. The merge_request_diff association has to load every diff for the MRs in the set, then discard all but the most recent for each. This association means that Rails can just query for N diffs from N MRs. 3. It's more complicated to update. This is a bidirectional foreign key, so we need to update two tables when adding a diff record. This also means we need to handle this as a special case when importing a GitLab project. There is some juggling with this association in the merge request model: * `MergeRequest#latest_merge_request_diff` is _always_ the latest diff. * `MergeRequest#merge_request_diff` reuses `MergeRequest#latest_merge_request_diff` unless: * Arguments are passed. These are typically to force-reload the association. * It doesn't exist. That means we might be trying to implicitly create a diff. This only seems to happen in specs. * The association is already loaded. This is important for the reasons explained in the comment, which I'll reiterate here: if we a) load a non-latest diff, then b) get its `merge_request`, then c) get that MR's `merge_request_diff`, we should get the diff we loaded in c), even though that's not the latest diff. Basically, `MergeRequest#merge_request_diff` is the latest diff in most cases, but not quite all. --- app/models/concerns/manual_inverse_association.rb | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) create mode 100644 app/models/concerns/manual_inverse_association.rb (limited to 'app/models/concerns') diff --git a/app/models/concerns/manual_inverse_association.rb b/app/models/concerns/manual_inverse_association.rb new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..0fca8feaf89 --- /dev/null +++ b/app/models/concerns/manual_inverse_association.rb @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +module ManualInverseAssociation + extend ActiveSupport::Concern + + module ClassMethods + def manual_inverse_association(association, inverse) + define_method(association) do |*args| + super(*args).tap do |value| + next unless value + + child_association = value.association(inverse) + child_association.set_inverse_instance(self) + child_association.target = self + end + end + end + end +end -- cgit v1.2.1
