If the parent is a module, it uses a normal table name.
module Foo
class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base
puts table_name # => 'bars'
end
end
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base
puts table_name # => 'foo_bars'
end
end
I don't know if the generator should be updated, or maybe the docs
just need to be clarified a bit.
