Description
After switching to 3.4.0 from 3.3.3 got the problem on project overview page. With non-admin user issue table is empty and total spent time is 0.0, even though "all issues" page and time report show correct data.
I saw related issues posted here but open new one because another version is affected and also because it seems to me that I found the reason.
I was able to trace the bug to the method User#project_ids_by_role, which returned wrong data. The actual reason lives in :visible scope of Project:
scope :visible, lambda {|*args| where(Project.visible_condition(args.shift || User.current, *args)) }
Because of this method chain, any query to Project from
User#project_ids_by_role adds condition for parent id. So even if you place break point inside that method and call Project.first, you will get something likeSELECT * FROM Project WHERE project.id = ? LIMIT 1
Looks like it's a bug affecting ActiveRecord 4.2.8, discussed here:
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/29445
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/29338
The actual problem with missing issues and time can be solved commenting first line in User#project_ids_by_role (result caching) but it's not a valid solution. Also 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 seem to do same things but the bug is not reproduced on our data so we stick with 3.3.4 for now.

UPD: 3.3.4 is probably fine as it uses rails 4.2.7.1

I was able to fix the problem on the project overview by loading visible subprojects (which poisons project_ids cache) at the end. I'll see if we can workaround this Rails bug with a more general solution.

Isn't disabling cache safer? Or rolling back to rails 4.2.7, didn't have time to check if that version works but one of that github issues says it does.

We can't stick to 4.2.7 for ever and the issue does not seem to be addressed in Rails 5.
I've committed a better fix in r16767 that ensures that User#project_ids_by_role always returns correct results.

I think we have to release a 3.4.1 ASAP.

I just want to mention that I have the same problem with the following environment (on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS):
Environment: Redmine version 3.2.1.stable Ruby version 2.3.1-p112 (2016-04-26) [x86_64-linux-gnu] Rails version 4.2.9 Environment production Database adapter Mysql2
I have solved the problem with the empty list in the issue tracking table by a patch described in #25828, but the problem with the "Spent time" of 0.0 hours remains. Admin accounts see the correct time, the other users do not. It would be nice if there was a patch for 3.2.1 too!
