Ext.Loader does not fetch associated models

[halcwb]

REQUIRED INFORMATION


Ext version tested:

• Ext 4.0 rev 2.a

Browser versions tested against:

• FF5 (firebug 1.3.0.10 installed)

Description: Ext.Loader does not resolve associations of model

• When a model has an association with another model, this is not automatically resolved by Ext.Loader if the required model is not loaded yet.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Define model A
• Define model B
• Associate model A with B
• Put model A and B in seperate files
• Enable Ext.Loader
• Create an instance of model A
• Try to access model B

The result that was expected:

• The access method of model B should be defined, instead it is undefined.

The result that occurs instead:

• Association with model B is undefined

Test Case: working code if in one file

Ext.define('GenForm.model.validation.ValidationRule', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',

    fields: [
        { name: 'type', type: 'string'},
        { name: 'field', type: 'string'}
    ],

    associations: [
        { type: 'belongsTo', model: 'GenForm.model.user.Login', name: 'login'}
    ]

});

Ext.define('GenForm.model.user.Login',  {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',

    associations: [
        { type: 'hasMany', model: 'GenForm.model.validation.ValidationRule', name: 'validationRules'}
    ],

    fields: [
        { name: 'username' , type: 'string' },
        { name: 'password', type: 'string'}
    ],

});

var model = Ext.create('GenForm.model.user.Login');

console.log(model.validationRules);

The same problem applies to the asssociation of a store and a model. The code below will not work:

Ext.define('GenForm.store.database.Database', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
    alias: 'widget.databasestore',
    storeId: 'databasestore',

    model: 'GenForm.model.database.Database',
    autoLoad: true,

    proxy: {
        type: 'direct',
        directFn: Database.GetDatabases
    }
}); 

However, if you add: requires: ['GenForm.model.database.Database'], the code works. (Given the fact that you use Ext.Loader and that you did not reference the store and model in a controller).

As I took the trouble to report the above bug, I would like to know the status of this post.

Hi halcwb, this was pushed into our bug tracker recently but it looks like whoever did so did not update this post. This issue is currently on the list for 4.1.x, and is related to a couple of other data issues that we're currently working through

I very much appreciate your answer. Thanks!
