Problem with relations

Hi guys, I’m following the Beginning Rails 3 Book, I’ve problems with the many to many relationship between Article-Category, when I try to create or show a article.

Please help me, I’m new with Rails.

And has your articles_categories table got a column category_id? If you think it has then how do you know? If you still think it has show us db/schema.rb

Hi Amador,

Looking at the application code you attached, your migration has the wrong code in db/migrate/ 20101208225837_create_articles_categories.rb.

Basically, in the book (https://gist.github.com/324042), we use:

t.references :category

and not

t.references :categories

What you can do to fix this is to rollback your database using: 'rake db:rollback', until you're back before this particular migration. Update the file, and then run 'rake db:migrate' and you should be good to go.

I hope this fixes your problem.

Cheers,

Thanks, it works. Now I can continue with the book.

Regards,
