I have models/controllers

Class Facility  
has\_many :facilities\_services, :dependent =\> :delete\_all

Class Service  
has\_many :facilities\_services, :dependent =\> :delete\_all

Class FacilitiesServices  
belongs\_to :facility  
belongs\_to :service

so in my test/functional/facilities\_controller\_test.rb, I have

post :destroy, :id =\> 5

which tosses an error…

test\_destroy(FacilitiesControllerTest):  
NameError: uninitialized constant Facility::FacilitiesService  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.4/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:477:in  
`const_missing' (eval):1:in`configure\_dependency\_for\_has\_many’

Is this because the Model for the join table should have been,  
FacilitiesService ?
