Hello, I use rails 1.0 It seems that i encounter a circular dependency problem, and i can''t manage to solve it. With the following models class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :projects end class Project < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :customers end And a file test.rhtml containg only <%= Customer.count %> I get the following error. Can someone explain me why and how to solve it ? (P.S.: search is disabled on this forum so maybe it''s already explained somewhere but ... :-)) e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:207:in `load'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:207:in `load'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:39:in `require_or_load'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:22:in `depend_on'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:30:in `associate_with'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:179:in `require_association'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:179:in `require_association'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/associations.rb:780:in `require_association_class'' e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/associations.rb:650:in `has_and_belongs_to_many_without_reflection'' (eval):5:in `has_and_belongs_to_many'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/customer.rb:2 #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/search/test.rhtml:1 -e:3:in `load'' -e:3 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
