Question

I tried to run rake test:profile and I got this error:

... Table 'mcif2.accounts' doesn't exist: DELETE FROM `accounts`

I know accounts doesn’t exist. It’s called account.

I know Rails uses plural table names by default but here’s what my config/environment.rb looks like:

# Load the rails application
require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)

# Initialize the rails application
McifRails::Application.initialize!

ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false

And here’s what db/schema.rb looks like:

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 0) do

  create_table "account", :force => true do |t|
    t.integer   "customer_id",              :limit => 8,                                         :null => false
    t.string    "account_number",                                                                :null => false
    t.integer   "account_type_id",          :limit => 8
    t.date      "open_date",                                                                     :null => false

So I don’t understand why Rails still wants to call it accounts sometimes. Any ideas?

If it helps give any clues at all, here are the results of grep -ir 'accounts' *.

My guess is that you’ve named your fixture accounts.yml or used the directive fixtures :accounts in one of the performance test. Rails fill the related table using the fixture name without knowledge about the model.
