Hi,

I have two models / controllers, one of which I can display (Events),  
the other which is identical in all but name (Event\_lists) throws an  
error.

The working code is

```
def index
    @events = Event.find(:all)
end

```

The failing code is

```
def index
    @event_lists = Event_list.find(:all)
end

```

with the following in the view

\<%= debug @event\_lists %\>

the error I get is

LoadError in Event listsController#index  
Expected /Users/AlexE/Documents/RailsDev/tet\_v1/app/models/  
event\_list.rb to define Event\_list

trying a find in the console works for Event.find(:all) but when I try  
it for Event\_list.find(:all) I get the following error

LoadError: Expected script/…/config/…/config/…/app/models/  
event\_list.rb to define Event\_list  
from /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/  
standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/  
activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:249:in

activesupport-1.4.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:464:in  
`const\_missing’  
from (irb):2

Why does one work and not the other?

Thorsten,

Thanks, I’m (very) new at this.
