UPDATE:
changing table_name to self.table_name = seems to have convinced rails to use the correct table.
I am, however, now getting these weird errors
Mysql2::Error: Unknown column 'templates.deleted_at' in 'where clause': SELECT `objekts`.* FROM `objekts` WHERE (`templates`.`deleted_at` IS NULL)
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I have a Template, and an Objekt:
class Template < ActiveRecord::Base
def status; 0; end # Template doesn't have a status column, so define default
end
class Objekt < Template
table_name = "objekts" # there is a status column in this table
end
but when I do, Objekt.new.attributes
in the console, it only lists the attributes from the Template
object, and doesn't list any of the Objekt
.
Every column on the Template
is also available in the Objekt
, but the Objekt
has an additional 10 columns (mostly flags)
what's going on here? why does rails not hook up the Objekt
class to the objekts
table?
