Undefined method on web and not in irb

Rails
1

Hi all

I seem to have a small problem in Rails. Lets say I have a class Foo
with an habtm association to Bar. So Foo has_and_belongs_to Bars en vice
versa.

Now, when I do lets say

Foo.new
Foo.bars, I get an undefined method bars for #Foo:0x1034f2f00 when I
run it through the browser.

Now, when I do it through irb, it returns an empty array as expected.
Does someone here has any clue how this can happen and what I need to
look for, becouse I’m completely clueless.

Thanks for any tips.

Random guess: does this still occur in production mode ?

Foo.bars is not valid as Foo is a class not an instance, or is that
just a typo here? It should be something like
foo = Foo.new
then use foo.bars

Is Foo defined in multiple places (some editors leave behind backup
copies of files that Rails loads anyway) ? If you stick a breakpoint
in does the Foo object you have look normal apart from raising an
error when bars is called ?

What just stuk me is that when I set a breakpoint at the class Foo <
ActiveRecord::Base line, it doesn’t stop. It just runs through the
application till it hits foo.bars :s

@Colin: yes, sorry for the mistake. I do run foo = Foo.new and then
foo.bars.

@Fred: just entered a break point. Seems like a normal object of type
Foo with all its attributes present, except for the associations and
self declared methods inside my model
