Title Body

I am new to RoR and still playing with associations. I need to have two references to a particular model in another model. The scaffolded code doesn't work and I get a "uninitialized constant" error. Generation commands: script/generate scaffold BaseModel name:string script/generate scaffold NewModel name:string base1:references base2:references db:migrate Generated models: class NewModel < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :base1 belongs_to :base2 end and class BaseModel < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :new_models # I added this line end When I try to create a new_model at /new_models/new , I tried both the ID and the name of the BaseModel but it does not work. The error I get is: uninitialized constant NewModel::Base1 I guessed it maps the names, so in my create method, I tried to explicitly set the BaseModel instances: @new_model = NewModel.new(params[:new_model]) @base1 = BaseModel.find(1) # this exists @base2 = BaseModel.find(2) # this exists @new_model.base1 = @base1 # This throws the same error as above Is there anything I'm missing?
