I think that you're looking for 'includes' rather than 'joins' for these associations. Report.includes({:alerts => :alert_code}). To use joins, you would have to supply more SQL-ish clauses, not symbols for the associations. http://apidock.com/rails/v3.2.8/ActiveRecord/QueryMethods/joins http://apidock.com/rails/v3.2.8/ActiveRecord/QueryMethods/includes -Rob > where(:unit_id => unit_id). > where{time < my{self.time}}. > where("alert_codes.name LIKE ?", "%Inside virtual > fence%"). > order("reports.time DESC").first > > Basically, it breaks: > > ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError (Association named 'alert_code' was > not found; perhaps you misspelled it?): > > > My associations look like this: > > report has_many alerts > alert belongs_to :alert_code, :foreign_key => :code > > I am trying to get the first report whose alerts belongs to alert_code > whose name is "inside virtual fence".
