Has_many :through doesn't work with .new()?

Rails
1

so thingys is related to middles which is related to users

@wamp = Thingy.new
@wamp.wonko = 13
@wamp.save

this is the has many relationship in the thingy model.

has_many :wonko, :through => :middles, :source => :user

i just keep getting a undefined method wonko.

even though when i pull thingys from the database it has no problem
getting the user related to the thingys… i’m lost.

It would be helpful to see the actual code, and real examples (eg
@wamp.wonko= 13 could never ever work) and the actual error/stack
trace
