Does not work with relations defined in the metadata of the Active Record #36
Description
Taken from this comment:

Before I start, let me express that I am grateful this extension was done in the first place. It is something needed and I hope it is added to the core as it will accelerate the development proccess. That being said..
I have a behavior that is called categorizable. Basically I add the behavior to any model that I want to be able to receive categories. In the behavior, I add the relationship with categories through the metaData of the Active Record.
This extension takes the relations from the Active Record from the relations() method which is an array containing a configuration. However, this configuration does not refresh when the metadata of relations is updated.
Therefore this plugin does not work if you add a relationship via the metadata of the active record.
There are two possible solutions for this.
- Modify (Directly or Extending) the EActiveRecordRelationBehavior so that it reads the relations from the metadata and not from the relations() method.
- Modify the relations method so that it is updated when the metadata is updated....however this solution gives me the sense that will break other things :$ so I am going for the first one.
