Nested association preloads doesn't work

Yes, im getting error in view, but because of not preloaded association.

Here is my view:

def render("post.json", %{post: post}) do if Ecto.assoc_loaded?(post.author) do %{id: post.id, text: post.text, text_title: post.text_title, shared: render_one(post.shared, PostView, "post.json"), author: render_one(post.author, AuthorView, "author.json") } else %{id: post.id, text: post.text, text_title: post.text_title, author_id: post.author_id} end end

This is my schema, shared is post

  use Ecto.Schema
  import Ecto.Changeset


  schema "posts" do
    field :text_title, :string
    field :text, :string

    belongs_to :author, Blogus.Earth.Author
    belongs_to :shared, Blogus.Earth.Post

    timestamps()
  end

  @doc false
  def changeset(post, attrs) do
    post
    |> cast(attrs, [:text_title, :author_id, :text, :shared_id])
    |> validate_required([:author_id])
  end  

This is my migration to create shared_id

use Ecto.Migration

def change do
alter table(“posts”) do
add :shared_id, references(:posts, on_delete: :nothing)
end

create index(:posts, [:shared_id])

end

You sure you are getting this error from this query? Because I saw this error when we are calling some nested schema attribute from views and its association is not preloaded.

On side note you can optimise your query:

      (from p in Post, 
        preload: [:author, [shared: :author]],
        where: p.inserted_at < ^stamp and p.author_id == ^author),           
        |> order_by(desc: :inserted_at)
        |> Repo.all()
