Rails - Jul 2006 - Scaffold a Plural table w/ No Pluralization in environment

Hi guys,

I have a situation here. I have my project set to no pluralization due 
to legacy tables in environment.rb. Now, I have some new tables which 
I''m starting to pluralize. When I do a generate a scaffold to this new 
table:

script/generate scaffold my_tables table

it seems to work out fine for certain sections like 
http://mysite.com/railsapp/new (which also inserts properly to my 
database). But when I go to http://mysite.com/railsapp/list, I get an 
application error. My logs are:

Processing SpielController#list (for 210.5.98.178 at 2006-07-18 
13:56:58) [GET]
  Session ID: 0be4d205f811096a827b21209cdc1370
  Parameters: {"action"=>"list",
"controller"=>"table"}


ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PGError: ERROR:  relation "my_table" 
does not exist.

Well, my_table really doesn''t exist because the table name is
my_tables.
With pluralization not activated in my environment, how can I have rails 
see this table?

Thanks,

Bing

Hey guys,

I found the answer. Just go to your models and put the line:

set_table_name "my_tables"

It will tell ruby to look at my_tables for the particular model.

thanks,

Great to hear you solved your problem.

Given that pluralisation is the default behaviour, and any new tables 
going forward will be pluralised, I''d suggest you switch pluralisation 
back on again, and move the set_table_name special casing to the legacy 
tables/models (thus marking them as legacy :)
