Hello,

I have two models in my app with after\_find defined.

One does get called and the other does not.

I have double checked and they are both defined private and correctly I  
think.

Is there anything in a model that determines if after\_find gets called  
or not?

I am using the latest RC.

## Thanks in advance.

Well, here is the model that does not get called back:

class PartidoEquipo \< ActiveRecord::Base  
attr\_accessor :base

belongs\_to :equipo  
belongs\_to :partido  
belongs\_to :tactica\_ataque, :class\_name =\> “Tactica”, :foreign\_key  
=\> “tactica\_ataque”  
belongs\_to :tactica\_defensa, :class\_name =\> “Tactica”, :foreign\_key  
=\> “tactica\_defensa”  
belongs\_to :base\_titular, :class\_name =\> “PartidoJugador”,  
:foreign\_key =\> “base\_titular”

private  
def after\_find  
@base = base\_titular  
loger.info(“En PartidoEquipo.after\_find”)  
end

end

Sorry about the spanish.

I think there is nothing special to that code, that’s why I didn’t post  
it. :-p

Well there is one thing:

loger.info("…")

Ought that to be

logger.info("…")

?

Jamis, you are right. It should be logger.info.

However, in the console when loading a model with find, that method  
didn’t fail with a NameError. The method is not being called back.

I corrected the mistake but no changes.

## Weird.
