"Unknown Column" error in Sequelize when using "limit" and "include" options

Question

I have a relatively complex Sequelize query that results in "Error: ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR: Unknown column 'EventImage.EventId' in 'where clause'". I can clearly see the problem in the SQL that's generated, but I don't know how to resolve it.

The error is accurate as the WHERE clause that's generated in the sub-query is referencing a column not included in the sub-query. As far as I can tell, Sequelize is generating the sub-query as a way to implement the row limit.

I'm using [email protected], MySQL 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2, and Node v0.10.21.

Here's the basic code:

var orm = require('../model');
var i = orm.Image;

i.findAll({
    where: where,
    offset: offset,
    limit: rows,
    order: orderby,
    include: [{
        model: orm.User,
        as: 'User'
    },
    {
        model: orm.Event,
        as: 'Events'
    },
    {
        model: orm.Comment,
        as: 'Comments'
    },
    {
        model: orm.Favorite,
        as: 'Favorites'
    }
    ]
})

where = "'Image'.'Category'='gallery' AND 'EventImage'.'EventId' in (1,2)"
offset = 0
rows = 12
orderby = "Image.createdAt DESC"

Sequelize is initialized with the following options:

underscored: false,
freezeTableName: true,
paranoid: true,
syncOnAssociation: true,
charset: 'utf8',
collate: 'utf8_general_ci',
timestamps: true

Here's the SQL that gets generated:

    `Image` . *,
    `User`.`id` AS `User.id`,
    `User`.`LoginName` AS `User.LoginName`,
    `User`.`FirstName` AS `User.FirstName`,

FROM
    (SELECT 
        `Image` . *
    FROM
        `Image` AS `Image`
    WHERE
        `Image`.`Category` = 'gallery'
            AND `EventImage`.`EventId` in (2)
            AND `Image`.`deletedAt` IS NULL
    LIMIT 12) AS `Image`
        LEFT OUTER JOIN
    `User` AS `User` ON `User`.`id` = `Image`.`UserId`
        LEFT OUTER JOIN
    `EventImage` AS `Events.EventImage` ON `Image`.`id` = `Events.EventImage`.`ImageId`
        LEFT OUTER JOIN
    `Event` AS `Events` ON `Events`.`id` = `Events.EventImage`.`EventId`
        LEFT OUTER JOIN
    `Comment` AS `Comments` ON `Image`.`id` = `Comments`.`ImageId`
        LEFT OUTER JOIN
    `Favorite` AS `Favorites` ON `Image`.`id` = `Favorites`.`ImageId`
ORDER BY Image.createdAt DESC;

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if it still needs it, but for those who's suffering, try adding subQuery: false to the query. Source.

If it won't work, try adding separate: true to the subqueries. Source.

Hope it helps, gl.
