Question

I was using acts_as_audited in my Rails 2 app and am in the process of updating it to Rails 3. I have updated a couple of models to call audited instead of acts_as_audited and those seem to work successfully. However, I am updating the User model of my app now and when I try to create a User (either from the console or from the app), I get the following error:

uninitialized constant User::Audit

The trace down the where it seems relevant is:

activerecord (3.2.8) lib/active_record/inheritance.rb:111:in `compute_type'
activerecord (3.2.8) lib/active_record/reflection.rb:172:in `klass'

audited (3.0.0) lib/audited/auditor.rb:216:in `write_audit'
audited (3.0.0) lib/audited/auditor.rb:198:in `audit_create'

The line that creates the issue in my controller simply states:

if @editing_user.save

I’ve looked through the support list of audited’s github account and can’t find anything that fits my issue. I thought I’d ask here to see if someone has had a similar issue. I’ve also searched here and google to find an answer to this specific question but can’t find anything relevant.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It turns out that I had has_many :audits within the User model but not any other model. After I removed that has_many call, everything worked fine.
