Question

I’m using rails_admin in an app and I’m getting an unexpected error.

In a certain model, I have a field called *_status_id.
When trying to edit that model in rails_admin, I get this error:

undefined method `*_statu_id’

Obviously, rails_admin thinks my resource is plural, when it is not.
Is there a way of letting Rails/rails_admin know how to use this resource properly?

Answer 1

“status” has an irregular plural; one which Rails doesn’t know about automatically. In config/initializers/infelctions.rb, ensure the ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections block is uncommented, and add the following to it:

inflect.uncountable 'status'
