Acts_as_taggable => error: undefined method 'tag'

I get an “undefined method ‘tag’” when I try to use the
acts_as_taggable.

Note that it’s not the issue of bouncing webrick after changing the
environment.rb file. (I stumbled on that too… :frowning: ).

I read all the doc I could find (on this site, on
http://rails.techno-weenie.net and at http://taggable.rubyforge.org/)
but I couldn’t find anything I might be doing wrong.

I marked my Item model as “acts_as_taggable” right at the top and in
item_controller::create method I’m calling @item.tag method after saving
the item.

#item.rb
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_taggable

#item_controller.rb

if @item.save
@item.reload
@item.tag(“cool”)
redirect_to :action => ‘show’, :id=> @item.id
end

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance…

The resolution is very interesting but it has nothing to do with
acts_as_taggable.

At some point I realized that no changes in the model (item.rb) are
picked up by rails. No matter what I tried (I even reboot my machine),
rails kept happy with a model file that, at that point, had obvious junk
in it.

Turns out rails was picking up an older file from a subdirectory of the
models directory (i.e. app/models/save/item.rb). I had to change that
file name to xitem.rb to convince rails it is not my model file.

Looks like a bug in rails to meâ?¦

Considering this is the first time I loose a few hours to a stupid rails
bug after a few months of using it, I guess I canâ??t complain. But still,
it was pretty frustrating :frowning:
