Uninitialized constant using polymorphic association

Reported by Rob | January 21st, 2009 @ 10:14 AM

Using a polymorphic association, I get an "uninitialized constant" error when I click on an order_by_link. For a test case, I set up the following example, where the regular association "post" works as expected, while the polymorphic association "resource" returns "uninitialized constant CatalogEntry::Resource" when clicking on their respective links. Using version 1.6.2.

I am a Rails noobie, my apologies if I'm missing something obvious, and thanks for a very useful plugin.

class CatalogEntry < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :resource, :polymorphic => true
  belongs_to :post
end

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :catalog_entry, :as => :resource
end

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :catalog_entry
end

create_table :catalog_entries
  t.string :name
  t.integer :resource_id
  t.string :resource_type
  t.integer :post_id
end

create_table :articles
  t.text :content
end

create_table :posts
  t.text :content
end

class Jquery::CatalogEntriesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @search = CatalogEntry.new_search(params[:search])
    @cats, @cats_count = @search.all, @search.count
  end
end

<tr>
    <th><%= order_by_link :id %></th>
    <th><%= order_by_link :resource => :content %></th>
    <th><%= order_by_link :post => :content %></th>
</tr>
<% @cats.each do |cat| %>
<tr>
  <td><%= cat.id %></td>
  <td><%= cat.resource.content%></td>
  <td><%= cat.foo.content%></td>
</tr>
