Fix multiple association block use to prevent ROM::AssociationSet registry error

[bkuhlmann]

Describe the bug

Hello. 👋 I ran into an issue that tripped me up due the error being rather confusing to debug:

rom-core-5.3.0/lib/rom/registry.rb:91:in `block in fetch': :account doesn't exist in ROM::AssociationSet[:integrations] registry (ROM::ElementNotFoundError)

In hindsight, the error makes a bit more sense now but when seeing it for the first time it took a while to realize that multiple association blocks won't work (which was an accident on my part due to being too hasty).

To Reproduce

Here's the inline script I used to reproduce (extracted from my Hanami application):

Script

#! /usr/bin/env ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true

# Save as `snippet`, then `chmod 755 snippet`, and run as `./snippet`.

require "bundler/inline"

gemfile true do
  source "https://rubygems.org"

  gem "amazing_print"
  gem "debug"
  gem "pg"
  gem "rom"
  gem "rom-sql"
  gem "sequel"
end

class Account < ROM::Relation[:sql]
  schema :accounts, infer: true
end

class Provider < ROM::Relation[:sql]
  schema :providers, infer: true
end

class Integration < ROM::Relation[:sql]
  schema :integrations, infer: true do
    associations { belongs_to :account }
    associations { belongs_to :provider }
  end
end

configuration = ROM::Configuration.new :sql, "<redacted>"
[Account, Provider, Integration].each { |relation| configuration.register_relation relation }
container = ROM.container configuration
repository = ROM::Repository.new container

puts repository.integrations.combine(:account).to_a.inspect

Expected behavior

I guess I would have expected to see an error like "multiple association blocks detected, there can be only one" or something along those lines. 😅

The solution is to use:

associations do
  belongs_to :account
  belongs_to :provider
end

Instead of:

associations { belongs_to :account }
associations { belongs_to :provider }

Maybe if multiple association blocks are detected, a better error could be provided? This isn't a huge priority but more of a nice to have I suppose.

My environment

Thanks for reporting this. I think it just works in main but I need to double check, so leaving this open but targeting 6.0.
