Fixes: #13445

removed unnecessary test case and improved test case for belongs_to having invalid  options

if belongs to model with touch option on touch

Closes #11288

simplified logic to calculate number of queries by using assert_queries

counter cache

At present, calling destroy multiple times on the same record results
in the belongs_to counter cache being decremented multiple times. With
this change the record is checked for whether it is already destroyed
prior to decrementing the counter cache.

This commit fixes a bug introduced in 96a13fc7 which breaks behaviour of
integer fields.

In 3.2.8, setting the value of an integer field to a non-integer (eg.
Array, Hash, etc.) would default to 1 (true) :

    # 3.2.8
    p = Post.new
    p.category_id = [ 1, 2 ]
    p.category_id # => 1
    p.category_id = { 3 => 4 }
    p.category_id # => 1

In 3.2.9 and above, this will raise a NoMethodError :

    # 3.2.9
    p = Post.new
    p.category_id = [ 1, 2 ]

    NoMethodError: undefined method `to_i' for [1, 2]:Array

Whilst at first blush this appear to be sensible, it combines in bad
ways with scoping.

For example, it is common to use scopes to control access to data :

    @collection = Posts.where(:category_id => [ 1, 2 ])
    @new_post = @collection.new

In 3.2.8, this would work as expected, creating a new Post object
(albeit with @new_post.category_id = 1). However, in 3.2.9 this will
cause the NoMethodError to be raised as above.

It is difficult to avoid triggering this error without descoping before
calling .new, breaking any apps running on 3.2.8 that rely on this
behaviour.

This patch deviates from 3.2.8 in that it does not retain the somewhat
spurious behaviour of setting the attribute to 1. Instead, it explicitly
sets these invalid values to nil :

    p = Post.new
    p.category_id = [ 1, 2 ]
    p.category_id # => nil

This also fixes the situation where a scope using an array will
"pollute" any newly instantiated records.

    @new_post = @collection.new
    @new_post.category_id # => nil

Finally, 3.2.8 exhibited a behaviour where setting an object to an
integer field caused it to be coerced to "1". This has not been
retained, as it is spurious and surprising in the same way that setting
Arrays and Heshes was :

    c = Category.find(6)
    p = Post.new

    # 3.2.8
    p.category_id = c
    p.category_id # => 1

    # This patch
    p.category_id = c
    p.category_id # => nil

This commit includes explicit test cases that expose the original issue
with calling new on a scope that uses an Array. As this is a common
situation, an explicit test case is the best way to prevent regressions
in the future.

It also updates and separates existing tests to be explicit about the
situation that is being tested (eg. AR objects vs. other objects vs.
non-integers)

Allows you to do BaseClass.new(:type => "SubClass") as well as
parent.children.build(:type => "SubClass") or parent.build_child
to initialize an STI subclass. Ensures that the class name is a
valid class and that it is in the ancestors of the super class
that the association is expecting.

Method compilation provides better performance and I think the code
comes out cleaner as well.

A knock on effect is that methods that get redefined produce warnings. I
think this is a good thing. I had to deal with a bunch of warnings
coming from our tests, though.

It doesn't serve much purpose now that ActiveRecord::Base.all returns a
Relation.

The code is moved to active_record_deprecated_finders.

Previously it returned an Array.

If you want an array, call e.g. `Post.to_a` rather than `Post.all`. This
is more explicit.

In most cases this should not break existing code, since
Relations use method_missing to delegate unknown methods to #to_a
anyway.

Closes #1190

Closes #3104.

Ensure that the foreign key gets set when doing record.create_association or record.create_association. Fixes #1960.

Refactor Active Record test connection setup. Please see the RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS file for details, but essentially you can now configure things in test/config.yml. You can also run tests directly via the command line, e.g. ruby path/to/test.rb (no rake needed, uses default db connection from test/config.yml). This will help us fix the CI by enabling us to isolate the different Rails versions to different databases.

Split AssociationProxy into an Association class (and subclasses) which manages the association, and a CollectionProxy class which is *only* a proxy. Singular associations no longer have a proxy. See CHANGELOG for more.
