Question

I’ve got a question about active-record association in Rails.
I’m developing three active-record model: Team, Teamuser, users, testing on “has_many through” association.
basically, I just want to be able to call team.users and user.teams.

here are my model definitions

  team.rb
  #######
  class Team < ActiveRecord::Base

    has_many :teamusers, :foreign_key => :team_id
    has_many :users, :through => :teamusers

  end

and

  teamuser.rb
  ###########
  class Teamuser < ActiveRecord::Base

    belongs_to :teams  
    belongs_to :users   

  end

then

  user.rb
  ########
  class User < ActiveRecord::Base

    has_many :teamusers, :foreign_key => :user_id
    has_many :teams, :through => :teamusers

  end

every time I try this

team.users

it returns me an error saying “uninitialized constant Team::Users”.

what might I be wrong he?
any advice would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

Your Teamuser should be:

class Teamuser < ActiveRecord::Base

  belongs_to :team
  belongs_to :user
end
