The way

 $(".field-unit--belongs-to-search select").data('url');

is used in belongs_to_search.js break multiple search fields on one page, as it picks the first one.

In order to be able to test multiple versions of our dependencies in a sane way, Appraisal would really help. Automating the process is something that really would increase how much we can trust ourselves.

I'm getting the following two errors in the JS console in Brave (Chromium based):

Note: I tried Firefox 96.0.1 (64-bit) as well, which resulted in the same exception on the console.

This is the line it highlights:

I followed the Readme with SHA fc8eed4 and added the attribute to one dashboard. These are all my changes to my app:

If you have any pointers or solution, that would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi folks, I'm having some trouble getting this plugin working. My resource_dashboard.rb includes this under ATTRIBUTE_TYPES:

address: Field::BelongsToSearch.with_options(
  class_name: "Address"
),

But when I type into the search bar, nothing happens and I get this error in the logs:

ActionView::MissingTemplate - Missing template admin/addresses/index, admin/application/index, administrate/application/index with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:json], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:raw, :erb, :html, :builder, :ruby, :arb, :coffee, :haml]}. Searched in:

  * "/Users/nate-r-a/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.8/gems/administrate-field-belongs_to_search-0.6.0/app/views"
  * "/Users/nate-r-a/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.8/gems/administrate-0.11.0/app/views"

, etc.

Did I miss a part of the setup, or maybe misunderstanding how this is to be used? Thanks in advance!

#associated_class returns NilClass when the association isn't set. This breaks the form view and produces a

undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class

later on.

Currently one has to either start typing or make a space in the input field for items to be shown. Focusing on the field should be enough to show some items. Also, clicking on the dropdown arrow initially shows nothing. Which is a bit confusing.

However, after the items are generated, if I click outside of field, clicking inside it works as expected, as does the dropdown arrow.

So it would be ideal I think to preload the boxes on page load.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your plugin!
I think jbuilder should be listed as a dependency since it's used in the administrate/application/index.json.jbuilder template. If the rails project does not use jbuilder then the template is not found and it results in a Missing template error.

Howdy,

Following the example in the README, I got an error about a missing ActionView template. It turns out that I needed to have jbuilder in my Gemfile. The README should probably list that as a requirement.

Describe the bug

The search field is not populating all of the Users. Instead it's only showing a small percentage of Users available for a belongs_to association.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Click on new record and start typing in the belongs_to field and view the pre-populated records (in my case, Users). Many (or most) of the records are missing.

If I type out a user is ex (User #287), if it was not one of the pre-populated users, it will fail to create the record, even while the User # 287 does exist in the database is is findable via the User administrate dashboard.

Environment

ruby "2.5.1"
rails "5.2.2.1"

Gemfile:
gem "administrate", "~> 0.11"
gem "administrate_exportable"

Expected behavior

I would expect a pre-populated list containing all of the records and if the record is not showing up, I should still be able to type it in and find it.

Additional context**

Dashboard Configuration:

ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = {
    user:          Field::BelongsToSearch.with_options(class_name: "User"),
    tos_agreement: Field::BelongsTo,
    id:            Field::Number.with_options(searchable: true),
    created_at:    Field::DateTime,
    updated_at:    Field::DateTime
  }.freeze

Screen Shots:

Search finds incomplete list of users. Should be sequential users:

Error when User #287 which wasn't showing up in the list manually written in and then searched.

Hello guys! I hope everybody is doing great.
I'm facing problem to add belongs_to search from "administrate-field-belongs_to_search" in dropdown of nested forms.
As you can see in attachment, order_items is nested form for new order and I need to add search on its product dropdown.
Waiting for your help.

Hi there!
I'm trying to use this gem for my case:
I have a projects, users and many-to-many project_users. When I'm on the Project Users admin page I want to be able to search project_user by its project title (or user email, for example).
In project_dashboard I changed display_resource to use the title and added this to project_user_dashboard:

ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = {
  ...
  project: Field::BelongsToSearch.with_options(class_name: 'Project', searchable: true),
  ...

As you might guess, I got

PG::UndefinedColumn: ERROR:  column project_users.project does not exist 
. . . 
WHERE (lower("project_users"."project") LIKE '%something%')
. . .

Could you give me any advise how to change this ATTRIBUTE_TYPES key (project) to search by its title?
Is it exactly that this gem should provide, or I use it wrong?
Thanks

like rails (5.1.2) and administrate (0.8.1)

The gem appears to work fine with Rails 7. Is there any reason for the restriction of less than rails 7?

My rails 5.2 app, I am using acts_as_taggable_on and have following

ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = {
      tag:        Field::BelongsToSearch.with_options(class_name: '::ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag', searchable: true, searchable_field: :name),
      taggable:   Field::Polymorphic,
      tagger:     Field::Polymorphic,
      id:         Field::Number,
      tag_id:     Field::Number.with_options(searchable: false),
      context:    Field::Select.with_options(collection: ActsAsTaggableOn::Tagging.select(:context).uniq.map(&:context).uniq),
      created_at: Field::DateTime
    }.freeze

And I have following form

FORM_ATTRIBUTES = %i[
      tag
      context
    ].freeze

And it doesn't search and returns the cached response. In the network tab of chrome, I see only 304 responses no matter what the query is and it doesn't give the result from the search.
