[Modeling-users] is this a bug in modeling?

[John L. <jl...@gm...>]

Hi all.

I've been owing you this for a while now.

The attached model, with Modeling 0.9-pre16 + sortBy/limit patch, and
0.9-pre17.1 + sortBy/limit + quoted entities patch, produces the same
(bad?) behaviour. I can test it with a plain 0.9-pre17.1 if you think
it's needed.

The behaviour is this: when an attribute is requested on a fault that
stands in for an object that is a subclass of the target of the
relation, and that attribute isn't present in the base class, an
exception is raised. Thus:

>>> from Modeling.EditingContext import EditingContext
>>> ec=EditingContext()
>>> import Store
>>> p=ec.fetch('Address')[0].getPerson()
>>> p.isFault()
True
>>> p.getTag()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: Person instance has no attribute 'getTag'
>>> p.getId()
1
>>> p.isFault()
False
>>> p.getTag()
'foo'
>>>
