Hey there šŸ™‚ Iā€™m creating this app on top of a legacy database, that has a mixture of auto\_inc ids, non-ā€˜idā€™ named pks, non-integer-pks, foreign keys that end in \_code instead of \_id, etc. I have the model working great in the console, where I can create any modeled object and reference other objects without issues. However, Iā€™m running into problems with plugins such as GLoc and Scaffold Extension, seemingly because of some attribute names. Scaffolding works without the plugins, but once theyā€™re installed, I get errors like this which is from the Scaffolding Extension: ArgumentError in Admin/crud#edit Showing vendor/plugins/scaffolding\_extensions/scaffolds/edit.rhtml where line #3 raised: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) Extracted source (around line #3): 1: # Editing \<%= @scaffold\_singular\_name.humanize.downcase %\> 2: 3: \<%= scaffold\_form(ā€˜updateā€™, :fields=\>@scaffold\_class.scaffold\_edit\_fields) %\> 4: 5: \<%= association\_links %\> 6: RAILS\_ROOT: /home/daniel/Documents/Projects/Eclipse/polybook/config/ā€¦ Thing is, this is great info: so, thereā€™s a wrong number of arguments, great! But for which method, and what kind of argument did it expect? What was happening at the time, stuff like that. I canā€™t guess (not in proper time anyway) which attribute(s) caused this error, so how do I find out? If I knew how to use the Ruby/Rails debugger, I guess that would be great, except it supposedly doesnā€™t work with Ruby 1.8.5. Help please! Thanks, Daniel šŸ™‚ ---

If you provide a backtrace (check the Rails log) and the contents of the appropriate model file(s), Iā€™ll be able to help you (Iā€™m the author of the plugin). Jeremy ---

Previous versions (more than a day old) are designed for Rails 1.1, and will give the error you got with 1.2. Jeremy ---

Hmmmā€¦ Not sure whatā€™s going on here, but Iā€™m back to getting the errorsā€¦ Right now itā€™s ā€œwrong number of arguments (0 for 1)ā€, a few minutes back it was ā€œuninitialized constantā€. Could I persuade you to try and create the database by you and see what happens when you try to scaffold? I have quite a few model files, perhaps it would be better if I could send them all to you via e-mail? You can e-mail me šŸ™‚ Cheers, Daniel šŸ™‚ ---
