Undefined method `all' for MyModel:Module

Rails
1

I am in the middle of upgrading an application which is only at 2.3 to
rails 3.0 (Then to rails 3.1) Iv’e gotten the application to begin
running. And it can load some models. For example in users I can -
Query user.first. But in this model if I call MyModel.all I get a
undefined method. So I’m a bit stuck, and un sure what todo to get it
working.

What is MyModel ? The error implies it’s not actually an active record
class

Is there a module call MyModel that might be shadowing your active
record class ?

What I’m thinking is that my application is called the same name as
MyModel so in Application i’m loading in module MyModel
But that is calling -
class Application < Rails::Application … end

But I’m not really sure how else to debug this.
Anythoughts?

ah, if you’re defining

module MyModel
end

somewhere like that then you can’t also have

class MyModel < AR:Base
end

in development mode it will just never load the AR class, in
production it would try and fail (since my model cannot be a class and
a module). You’re going to have to pick non clashing names (the
application name is probably easiest to change)

Thank you very much for helping me think through this.
Its a old project, where upgrading it is going to be a couple week
process.
