I am working on streamlining one of my apps, and trying to wrap my hands around through, polymorphic, and with_scope. All of these i know i need for what i want to do, based on the little documentation I have found. With this in mid I have tried to implement a simple through in the app to try and get my head around it. This is what I have: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions has_many :accounts, :through => :subscriptions end class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product belongs_to :account end class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :subscriptions has_many :products, :through => :subscriptions end in my controller i have the following code: @account = Account.find(@user.account_id) @products = @account.products but i recieve the following error: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.options RAILS_ROOT: /Users/flip/Documents/workspace/SolidSuite/public/../ config/..

I am on changeset: 3747 as far as I can tell however when i followed the instructions on the wiki I cound not find a bin directory as the last few steps mention in regards to replacing some files with newer versions based on certain files on edge are not compatable with 1.0 files. My db is mysql 5.0.18 and i have all the appropriate keys set. If i remove the call to the through as well as the specific through call and go back to the way I was doing it things work fine. Again I am trying to do things very simple and than once I get the feel for it i was going to optimize because I know what I am doing is not optimize. Any help would be much appreciated. As a side note another question is that I have tried this on a HABTM relationship and get similar errors.

Andrew, I''m getting this same error and am wondering what I''m doing wrong also. Not sure if it''s me or the code :) If anyone else knows what''s going on, please do pipe up.

:through associations are working fine for me on edge. How are you setting up your objects? Your model classes look right, but do you have the objects hooked together properly? Like, did you create the subscriptions? I''ve been blogging a series on how to use :through associations in 1.1. Check it out and see if it helps. If not let me know and maybe I can help. http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/articles/2006/02/28/association-goodness --josh blog.hasmanythrough.com Andrew Filipowski wrote:> I am working on streamlining one of my apps, and trying to wrap my > hands around through, polymorphic, and with_scope.
