Question

There are two model classes in my project. The first is User:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :name
  has_many :micropost1s
end

The other is Micropost1

class Micropost1 < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :content, :user_id
  belongs_to :user

  validates :content, :length => { :maximum => 140 }
end

I am not getting where I am wrong. First I run this command for assigning variable first_user:

first_user = User.first

After that I write in console:

first_user.micropost1s

I am getting this error log:

 Micropost1 Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "micropost1s".* FROM "micropost1s" WHERE "micropost1s"."user_id" = 1

Answer 1

Sounds like you haven’t run the migrations generated by creating your models:

$ rake db:migrate

If this doesn’t work, you may need to add a user_id column to your Micropost1 model. E.g:

$ rails g migration add_user_id_to_micropost1s

Then edit the generated migration to create the field as desired. Alternatively you could re-create the model with a reference to a user:

$ rails g model Micropost1 something:string user:references
