I’m having trouble with rails and a table named ‘dives’. It seems to  
work fine if I try it with another table name. I’ve generated the  
scaffold with the script and have not made any modifications to it. When  
I try to run the dives controller it starts looking for ‘dife.rb’ and  
fives me ‘uninitialized constant Dife’.

Is this a known issue?

I’m using rails 10. and ruby 1.8.4

Thanks,

IIRC the inflector rules for v/f are a little flaky - look up how to add  
your own pluralisation rules to override this particular one

…, at the bottom of Environment.rb (look for ‘Inflector’)
