Hi all,
I'm getting a weird "transient" error I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
In short, the first time view a particular page all is well. The second time around, I get a bunch of active record model objects with no public_instance_methods, so all code relying on that fails. Server restart is required to fix it.
I have a method in one of my models that goes through several associated models, iterates over the associated model objects and further iterates into associated models on those to return some distantly related model objects.
It works great.. but only once for every server load. If I refresh the page, subsequent calls to the accessor methods for the associations have no methods!! So I get undefined method for something that clearly existed just one refresh ago!
To give some more details, I have a Volunteer which has VolunteerApplications which each have an Opportunity which each have an Organization.
I want to get the organizations for a given volunteer.. So I do so via
has_many :opportunities, :through => :volunteer_applications
which has created the opportunities method for me. I call that and iterate over each and call organization on each (which was created by: belongs_to :organization )
But upon refresh the organization accessor doesn't exist for opportunity, nor does any other.
Any clues? Ideas of how to better debug this? I've confirmed via debugger that the attributes are all set on the model object, but it has none of the association methods added by has_many, belongs_to, etc.
I've also confirmed that belongs_to, etc are in fact being run.
Thanks in advance! -- Luke
