Thanks Matt, that was the problem. I'll keep the console in mind next time around... it never occurred to me to try that this time.
The Survey model didn't change. The corrected models are: survey_question.rb: class SurveyQuestion < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :survey acts_as_list :scope => :survey has_many :survey_possible_answers end survey_possible_answer.rb: class SurveyPossibleAnswer < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :survey_question acts_as_list :scope => :survey_question end The migrations and fixture files didn't have to change.
