Hi All,
If you have a has_many association without a defined order on a model
and call a method on it through the method_missing method (for example
a scope) and then call last on that you'll get an error. To concretize
a bit:
Person.posts.active.last
NoMethodError: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass

I have submitted a patch to lighthouse for this bug. Please have a
look :-)
