The relation specified with the {{inverse_of}} option must have different name than relation which is about to be defined

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug

    • Priority: Icon: Minor - P4 Minor - P4

      Not sure which versions are precisely affected.

      See the attached file. One cannot define bi-directional relations like that:

      class Library
        include Mongoid::Document
        has_many :relation, class_name: "Book", inverse_of: :relation
      end
      
      class Book
        include Mongoid::Document
        belongs_to :relation, class_name: "Library", inverse_of: :relation
      end
      

      It results with inconsistent behaviour. On the assignment attempt, one side of the relation will not be saved, and sometimes stack overflow error may be raised.
