Got a problem with has_many through

Rails
1

Hi,

today I’ve tried to replace one of my habtm associations with has_many
through but it just wouldn’t work. I’m sort of desperate, since I
really don’t have a clue what the problem is.

Maybe someone’s got the time and patience to cast an eye on this.

These are my classes:

class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :permissions
has_many :rights , :through => :permissions
end

class Right < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :permissions
has_many :roles , :through => :permissions
end

class Permission < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :rights
belongs_to :roles
end

And this is the error that comes up(using the console):

role = Role.find_first
=> #<Role:0x9c2ad68 @attributes={“name”=>“adfsadf”,
“updated_on”=>“2007-01-08 15:41:00”, “id”=>“3”, “active”=>“0”,
“created_at”=>“2007-01-08 12:34:00”}>

right = Right.find_first
=> #<Right:0x9c19554 @attributes={“updated_on”=>“2007-01-08 16:55:00”,
“id”=>“1”, “path”=>"/rights", “active”=>“0”, “created_at”=>“2007-01-08
12:34:00”}>

role.rights << right
NameError: uninitialized constant Role::Rights

Can anybody help me with this?

I had to use edge rails, apply fix for #6466, and use something like the
following extension to get push, delete, and << working properly

has_many :referees_out,
:through => :refereeships,
:source => :target_user do
def construct_join_attributes(associate)
super.merge({:connection_type => ‘R’})
end
end
