Im trying to follow the railscasts complex forms tutorial, but im doing it with :through realted tables and im having some problems.

Ive made a pastie of the error and related files so its easier to read: Parked at Loopia

Any thoughts? Thanks.

run ruby -c file_name on each file to make sure they pass [I guess they do] do a require_dependency in one of the other?

ruby -c is ruby -c app/models/orders_... # should say ok

doing require_dependency would be at the top of one file,w here it errs, add require_dependency 'app/models/orders_sandwiches'

I wonder if class OrdersSandwiches < ActiveRecord::Base should be OrdersSandwich though :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks again Roger.

Yea you were right, the problem was with the name of the join table and model. I thought that was the naming convention, but thats apparently for has_and_belongs_to_many, and its better to have a meaningful singular name for the join table using :through.

Thanks again :wink:

I agree--their naming syntax is somehow lacking, in this instance :slight_smile:
