HI all, I just started using acts\_as\_paranoid, and I’ve been using gettext for a while. Now I get the below errors when I run rake gettext:updatepo. It’s interesting that the errors seem to stack up, so the first file just errors on belongs\_to\_without\_deleted, the second file has a layer of eval, the second has two layers of eval, and so forth. I’ve tried for a while to fix it by requiring this and that at different points in the load process. In the end, the only solution I’ve found is to comment out “alias\_method\_chain :belongs\_to, :deleted” in acts\_as\_paranoid/ init.rb, which is hardly a suitable permanent solution. Thanks much for any advice you might be able to offer. - Ian Ignored ‘app/models/cafe\_application.rb’.
