column reference "name" is ambiguous

Hi,

I’m running into an issue with a combination of query and where clauses on a model. I’m running on PostgreSQL database.

The following code is dynamically built depending on the API request:

Brand.query((qb) => {
          qb.innerJoin('partners as p', function() {
            this.on('brands.partner_id', '=', 'p.id')
          });

          qb.where('p.name', 'ILIKE', '%partnername%');
        })
        .where('name','=','brandname')
        .fetch();

results in:

error: select "brands".* from "brands" inner join "partners" as "p" on "brands"."partner_id" = "p"."id" where "p"."name" ILIKE $1 and "name" ILIKE $2 order by "brands"."id" ASC limit $3 - column reference "name" is ambiguous

Again, the where clause is built dynamically from the API request. Is there any way to either prefix the where property with the tablename or to add an alias for the Brand model’s properties?

I have been using plugin that creates a static method field.

module.exports = function (bookshelf, options) {
  bookshelf.Model = bookshelf.Model.extend({}, {
    field: function (fieldName) {
      return this.prototype.tableName + '.' + fieldName;
    }
  });
};

Then it can be used like Model.field('someFieldName'). Eg.

Author.forge().books().query(function (qb) {
  qb.where(Book.field('id'), 2); // WHERE books.id = 2
}).fetchOne()
// . . .
