Hello, I posted this on the rails talk group but received no response. Perhaps someone on this list could weigh in on whether this is expected/desired behavior or a bug that I should file and develop failing tests for (I doubt I have the active record method_missing fu to actually patch it).
Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email address, however the user found has to also match one of two possible 'state' values (passive || pending_singup). While trying to implement this I discovered that the find_or_(initialize| create)_by_* dynamic finders totally and silently ignore any conditions passed. Bug? Should'nt these dynamic finders behave the same as find_by_* or find_all_by_* dynamic finders and use the :conditions passed to them? The documentation seems to indicate that they should. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html Dynamic attribute-based finders documentation "It's even possible to use all the additional parameters to find. For example, the full interface for Payment.find_all_by_amount is actually Payment.find_all_by_amount(amount, options). And the full interface to Person.find_by_user_name is actually Person.find_by_user_name(user_name, options). So you could call Payment.find_all_by_amount(50, :order => "created_on"). The same dynamic finder style can be used to create the object if it doesn't already exist. This dynamic finder is called with find_or_create_by_ and will return the object if it already exists and otherwise creates it, then returns it." Here are a couple of examples. I know these are contrived since I could use 'find_or_initialize_by_name_and_state()' however what I am really trying to show is that the :conditions options are ignored. Check out the actual SQL run by each of these finds in a console to see what I mean.
