We're looking into this issue as well. We haven't gotten to the bottom of
it yet, but we've noticed some possibly interesting facts.
We have reduced the issue to something like
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
define_index do
end
has_one :my_association
end
class SubItem < Item
end
When running some tests with spork (but not without) that create an Item,
we will get
undefined method `association_class' for nil:NilClass
when the factory tries to use `my_association`.
We can unbreak it by duplicating "has_one :my_association" in the SubItem
class.
We can also unbreak it by moving the association in the Item class above
"define_index do; end".
Our current theory is that we hit "define_index", Thinking Sphinx does
something with associations to be able to do its "index foo.bar"
association magic, and that causes Item not to define the association when
it should.
Just sharing this to give Pat (and possibly others) something to go on if
we don't come any further, and before I forget what we've found :)
