This forum has been of no help before, but I am nothing daunted. I have a "people" table, mapping to a Person ActiveRecord class, which has two subclasses, Principal and Secondary. There is a type column.
There is a "locations" table, mapping to Location. Location belongs_to Principal. Principal has_many Locations. There is a principal_id column in locations. There is a LocationsController. It renders rhtml, which contains something like <%= @location.principal.full_name %> ... to which Rails complains "uninitialized constant Location::Principal". locations_controller.rb does not refer to Principal. The problem must come from the class information in the relationship, or possibly in the STI type information. If I change the belongs_to to: belongs_to :principal, :class_name => "Person", :foreign_key => "principal_id" it works, but this bothers me. It is not what I intend. Locations belong to Principals, not to People in general. The alternative, I think, is to have locations_controller.rb require 'person', but that gives me problems with reloading in development mode. What should I do? $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0] $ rails --version Rails 1.2.6 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
