Hope this helps someone who is in the same boat. When you have controller named ApplicationsController and an associated model named Application, Rails is loading the wrong application.rb file and producing the following error. It is loading the app/controllers/application.rb file instead of app/models/ application.rb when you instantiate Application object.
Expected / .../app/controllers/application.rb to define Application. Instead when you rename the app/controllers/application.rb (base controller) to app/controllers/application_controller.rb, everything works as expected. -Satynos On Jan 12, 9:21 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Jan 12, 12:59 pm, Caesar <caesar.in...@gmail.com> wrote:> I also had the > same problem.
