I have a Rails 3.1 app with the following 2 models
class Listing < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :listing_saves
end
class Team < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :listing_saves
has_many :saved_listings, through: :listing_saves, source: 'listing'
end
The Join model looks like this
class ListingSave < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :team
belongs_to :listing
end
Mow I think that there is an inflection problem because whenever I try to run my tests I get the following error (this is an example of an error and the test that caused it)
it "should return the listing saves associated with the team" do
save = Factory :listing_save, listing: @listing, saver: @user, team: @team
@team.listing_saves.should include save
end
Failures:
1) Team listing_saves associations should return the listing saves associated with the team
Failure/Error: @team.listing_saves.should include save
NameError:
uninitialized constant Team::ListingSafe
# ./spec/models/team_spec.rb:55:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
as if Rails is singularizing listing_saves
into listing_safe
Here are some custom inflectors I have tried (not all at the same time) (none of them work)
# config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.plural 'saved_listing', 'saved_listings'
inflect.singular 'saved_listings', 'saved_listing'
inflect.plural 'listing_save', 'listing_saves'
inflect.singular 'listing_saves', 'listing_save'
inflect.singular 'listing_safes', 'listing_safe'
inflect.plural 'listing_safe', 'listing_safes'
inflect.irregular 'listing_save', 'listing_saves'
inflect.irregular 'saved_listing', 'saved_listings'
end
What can I do next?
Note: I found the this similar question but the answer doesn't seem to solve my problem
Edit
I followed the answer below so that I now have the following in my config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.irregular 'listing_save', 'listing_saves'
end
When I open up a console session and run "listing saves".singularize
I get "listing_save" as I would hope. However, it seems that at least part of my application doesn't get it, my tests still fail in the same way as before. (I swear I'm restarting my server and spork before I test/run the application!).
Edit 2 I wrote some tests for inflections in my app:
describe "inflection" do
it "should singularize listing_saves properly" do
"listing_saves".singularize.should == "listing_save"
end
it "should pluralize listing_save properly" do
"listing_save".pluralize.should == "listing_saves"
end
end
Now I have a situation where these tests pass fine, but other tests still fail with the same error I was having before
NameError:
uninitialized constant User::ListingSafe
Same app, same spork instance, same files loaded. Something weird is going on here!??
