ruby - Padrino + FactoryGirl not performing Lazy Loading -

i'm developing thesis on padrino, using active record orm , factorygirl mocking framework.

i'm facing strange behavior.

i've 2 models: user , rate.

- user has 'has_many :rates' association; - rate has 'belongs_to :user' association; - 'rates' table has integer attribute named 'user_id' (not created 'references' on migration, directly 'integer'). 

my association working well, after performing reload on parent object.

here snippets related issue: https://bitbucket.org/snippets/cuscos/mbdak

if start 'padrino console' , create user manually, current behavior:

$ user = factorygirl.create(:user_with_rates) $ user.rates.length          # received '0', expected '1' $ user.rates.all.length     # received '1', ok $ user.reload! $ user.rates.length          # i'm receiving '1' correctly 

it seems activerecord isn't performing lazy loading reason.

does know why happening?

thanks support far.

for may interest, here solution i'm adopting solve problem:

in user factory, instead:

after(:create) |user, evaluator|   create_list(:rate, evaluator.rates_count, user: user) end 

do:

after(:create) |user, evaluator|   user.rates << create_list(:rate, evaluator.rates_count, user: user) end 

it's not proper solution, solved problem now.
