undefined method on web and not in irb

Hi all

I seem to have a small problem in Rails. Lets say I have a class Foo with an habtm association to Bar. So Foo has_and_belongs_to Bars en vice versa.

Now, when I do lets say

Foo.new Foo.bars, I get an undefined method bars for #<Foo:0x1034f2f00> when I run it through the browser.

Now, when I do it through irb, it returns an empty array as expected. Does someone here has any clue how this can happen and what I need to look for, becouse I'm completely clueless.

Thanks for any tips.

Random guess: does this still occur in production mode ?

unfortunately is does

Is Foo defined in multiple places (some editors leave behind backup copies of files that Rails loads anyway) ? If you stick a breakpoint in does the Foo object you have look normal apart from raising an error when bars is called ?

Foo.bars is not valid as Foo is a class not an instance, or is that just a typo here? It should be something like foo = Foo.new then use foo.bars
