Has many through not working in ruby-enterprise

hi,
I have simple has many through association which is working without
problem on ruby 1.8.6 and rails 2.0.2, but on ruby-enterprise with
ruby 2.0.2 or 2.3.2 it just does not see “through” part of
association.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :userships
has_many :user_groups, :through => :userships
end
class UserGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :userships
has_many :users, :through => :userships
end
class Usership < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :user_group
end

as i am moving app to new server, i am getting these errors:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Unknown column
‘user_groups.user_id’ in ‘where clause’: SELECT * FROM user_groups
WHERE (user_groups.user_id = 8)

obviously, association is not correctly understood by ruby and
“through” part of it is not taken

anybody having similar problem? any ideas?

forgot to mention

as i am moving app to new server where i am testing it with REE, i am
getting these errors:

happens on this line on User model:
self.user_groups.include?(UserGroup.find(gr))

now i found in console, that it works in development mode, also
running from mongrel is fine

u=User.find(8)
=> #<User id: 8, …

u.user_groups
=> [#<UserGroup id: 1, name: …

now this is one of the weirdest

action which has:

logger.info curent_user.user_groups.inspect

in itself runs properly
