Single Table Inheritance Association Issue

[Mike]

Hi there,

I'm using STI in a new application, and something is terribly wrong with
has_many associations.

Right, so I have number of subclasses that inherit from one concrete
base class. Each sub class can possibly have associations via has_many,
or has_one. When I try to access a collection on the sub class(
subclass.items), I get 'undefined method 'items' for <Subclass>'. The
strange thing is, accessing these subclasses in script/console works
fine, and even works the first time I run the app in some cases. Once I
refresh the page I get this error though.

I'm totally at a loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Mike.

You have posted this question to the ruby-talk forum/newsgroup/mailing
list, which is for general discussion of the Ruby language. You will
probably get a better set of responses if you ask this question on the
ruby-on-rails forum/group, which is for rails-specific questions, as
yours is.
