I can't understand where it fails. I can add a friend to my friendship table, but I want to view my friends which I have after that. Rendering the view of this (index) fails.
I understand that I somewhere refer to my friendship wrongly, but it seems to find everything else. I can only find a referance in this log in the last row, but that tells me (like the noob I am) nothing. Someone got a suggestion (preferably a solution)?

It appears that your :include is messed up.
Eager loading has it's uses but it seems that lately it's being used for everything that it shouldn't be..
assuming you have the following relationship: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :friendships has_many :friends, :through => "friendships" end
class Friendship < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :users has_many :friends, :class_name ="User" end
just do: @user = User.find params[:user_id]
and when you need the friends, just do @user.friends
