uninitialized constant error - Using unconventional table names

Hello,

I'm having some trouble with an association between two tables in my RoR site. It looks like Rails is attempting to truncate the name of my model so that it can fit the normal model conventions. Any idea how I can override this?

The error:

uninitialized constant Project::ProjectProgres ( i think its truncating the 's' off 'project_progress' to fit conventions)

The models (and associations)

#### ../models/project_progress.rb class ProjectProgress < ActiveRecord::Base   set_table_name "project_progress"   belongs_to :project

#### ../models/project.rb class Project < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :project_progress

#### ../controllers/project_controllers.rb ......       @project.project_progress.each do |p| ## this is the line its puking on           # some code       end

Any idea where to set the override statement?

#### ../models/project.rb class Project < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :project_progress

A has_many should always use a plural form , regardless of what the underlying table name is, so has_many :project_progresses should work nicer. If Rails cannot properly infer the class name from the association name you can: - fiddle with the inflection rules so that rails knows how to singularize/pluralize these words - use the :class_name option
