… pretty obvious, isn’t it? Because you end up with a Request model
and
hence @request instance variables - and there you go: marvellous clash
with
the controller environment that is established in instance variables …
such
as @request. After renaming my model to ‘Inquiry’ everything just worked
fine.
Stupid as I am, that insight took me some time to figure out, so I
thought I
could post a warning here.
So that would mean that these are bad model/table names:
- Request/requests
- Param/params
- Cookie/cookies
- Response/responses
- Session/sessions (watch out you conference management coders
- Header/headers
I couldn’t find any hints about reserved model names in the Rails book,
but
only now found this wiki page:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/ReservedWords
Hope that helps others from struggling - and please correct if I am
wrong
Thanks
