Fixture Load Breaks on has_and_belongs_to_many :companies, inverse_of: nil

[adailey14]

I have two models like this:

class Item
include Mongoid::Document
field :name, type: String
has_and_belongs_to_many :other_items, inverse_of: nil
end

class OtherItem
include Mongoid::Document
field :name, type: String

has_and_belongs_to_many :items

end

Then I try to create fixtures like this:

items.yml:
item1:
name: item1
other_items:
-other_item1

other_items.yml:
other_item1:
name: other_item1

This gives me this error when trying to create the fixtures (let me know if you want a full trace):
Mongo::Error::OperationFailure: An empty update path is not valid. (56)
...mongoid stack...
/bundler/gems/mongoid-fixture_set-7b7d767542f9/lib/mongoid/fixture_set.rb:109:in `update_document'

However, if I remove the inverse_of: nil from items and uncomment the has_and_belongs_to_many relation in other_items, the fixtures work as expected.

Thanks!

Hi !
I don't have time to maintain this repository at the moment, so I can't investigate this issue at the moment.

The projet needs a major rewrite due to some misconceptions, so I can't investigate this issue at the moment, sorry.

However, feel free to clone the sources, fix and pull request ;) If you're motivated, I can then transfer the ownership of this gem.

Thanks for the note Geoffroy. Sorry I'm not motivated enough or feel like I
have enough background to own this gem. I have been using it in an
experimental project (and I'm just learning MongoDB) and it's been working
just fine other than the issue mentioned above - but maybe I'll switch over
to factory girl or something similar if you think this gem is too unstable
/ out of date.

Yes, I think it's better to continue using FactoryGirl at the moment.

Maybe later will I finish my work and produce a correct port of ActiveRecord fixtures for mongoid
