I have the following four files
MODEL

class FriendshipRequest < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :requested_by, :class_name => :user, :foreign_key =>
:requested_by_user_id
end

MIGRATION

create_table :friendship_requests do |t|
t.references :user, :null => false
t.integer :requested_by_user_id, :null => false
t.timestamps
end

CONTROLLER

def index
@user = User.find(session[:user])
@friendship_requests = FriendshipRequest.find(:all, session[:user])
end

VIEW

<% @friendship_requests.each do |friendship_request| -%>
<%= friendship_request.requested_by.inspect %>
<% end -%>

And I am getting the following error:

can’t convert Symbol into String

Should I not be able to access the user through dot notation
using riendship_request.requested_by?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

:class_name expects a String
