Further to the below, it seems it doesn't display the actual recursive tail
that's the problem.

I'm now getting a loop in method_missing, around the following lines:
def method_missing(method_id, *args, &block)
method_name = method_id.to_s
if self.class.private_method_defined?(method_name)
raise NoMethodError.new("Attempt to call private method", method_name,
args)
end
# If we haven't generated any methods yet, generate them, then
# see if we've created the method we're looking for.
if !self.class.generated_methods?
self.class.define_attribute_methods
if self.class.generated_methods.include?(method_name)
return self.send(method_id, *args, &block)
end
end
if self.class.primary_key.to_s == method_name
id
We're getting to id, and going straight back into method_missing again.
What on earth could I have done to cause this craptastic cascade of failures?
