Just yesterday I inherited a Rails project that is overdue. Yay! Also, I'm rather a bit of a Ruby/Rails novice. Double yay!
The problem I'm currently trying to solve is this: there is a model class in this rails app that does not have a corresponding database table. In fact, there is a comment in the model class code that says: "I admit this is a bit of a hack, since there is not [sic] 'XYZ' table in the db". When I try to run the app, webrick spits out the following: "Mysql::Error: Table 'XYZ' doesn't exist: SHOW FIELDS FROM `XYZ`". I do know that the original author got this working somehow because it's running just fine out in the wild. Unfortunately, I don't have access to that instance. Just the source code as it was checked in to subversion. What can I do? Thanks, Stephen P.S. I also posted this on the URUG, but I only just joined so I don't know how responsive they'll be. For any of you in that group, I sincerely apologize for the cross post. I am just really anxious to get this resolved. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
