Has_one :through doesn't work in Rails 2.2.2

Rails

I followed the steps in the following link literally in a new Rails
2.2.2 project
http://ryandaigle.com/articles/2008/3/24/what-s-new-in-edge-rails-has-one-through

Then I ran it in script/console, getting these error (actually I got
same error in another big rails project before I read that link):

NoMethodError: undefined method update_attributes' for #<Class: 0xb7069980> from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1833:in method_missing’

I simply copied the code in that link, and in the associated table there
were only needed fields to establish the relations.

Maybe your defined rails version in environment.rb is not 2.2.2?

I was having the same issue as Clive trying to test the referenced
example
I was able to get some functionality by using :has_one subscription
rather than :has_many.

I do have a question though.

I can set the through association like this

user=User.create(:name=>“Bob”)
m=Magazine.create(:name=>‘test’)
user.magazine=m
then user.subscription will = #<Subscription id: 1, user_id: 1,
magazine_id: 1…>

However,
using user.update_attributes(:magazine=>m)
the return is true, but there is no association created. Subscription
remains nil.

Am I wrong in assuming that I should be able to do this?
