Gorm Join table query - sql

Question

I currently have a Club and Tag table and I wanted to obtain all of the clubs that have at least 1 of those given tags.
type Club struct {
ID uint
Sets []Tag `gorm:"many2many:club_tag;foreignKey:id;References:name"
}
type Tag struct {
ID uint
Name string
}
I made this query which ends up returning the clubs that have that particular tag most of the time however, sometimes I encounter these issues.
var clubs []Club
var tags []string
db.Joins("JOIN club_tag ON club_tag.club_id=club.id).
Joins("JOIN tag ON club_tag.tag_name=tag.name").
Where("tag.name IN ?", tags).
Find(&clubs)
> ERROR: column club_tag.deleted_at does not exist (SQLSTATE 42703)
> Error: missing FROM-clause entry for table "club_tag" (SQLSTATE 42P01)
Am I missing something in this query such that it won't return an error?
I'm currently using GORM v2 and tried to follow this example
Any help is appreciated! Thanks :)

Answer 1

based on your errors :
ERROR: column club_tag.deleted_at does not exist (SQLSTATE 42703)
Error: missing FROM-clause entry for table "club_tag" (SQLSTATE 42P01)
Your first error says you club_tag hasn't deleted_at, I think your struct has gorm.Model data. from documentation of gorm v2:
GORM defined a gorm.Model struct, which includes fields ID, CreatedAt, UpdatedAt, DeletedAt
when you create query for struct which has gorm.Model. gorm in default created deleated_at = null on query. so I think you should remove gorm.Model and create what fields you want.
Your second error says your query hasn't any table on join. so I think you must check your table names.
