Rails 3 conditions translated to Rails 4.

Having trouble with the syntax on the has_many conditions

Rails 3 - 

has_many :friends, through: :user_friendships,
                     conditions: { user_friendships: { state: 'accepted'} }

I've tried every variation I can think of to update the deprecated conditions syntax.

Can anyone help?

This is a shot in the dark, but give it a try

has_many :friends, -> { where(user_friendships: { state: 'accepted' }) }, through: :user_friendships

?

Perfect, it worked Nicholas, thanks so much! I had tried that code before, but I either made a syntax error, or putting the through: at the end worked.

Thanks again!
