include ActiveModel::StateMachine imports classes defined in ActiveModel::StateMachine module

Reported by Morgan Christiansson | August 12th, 2009 @ 03:01 PM

I have a model called Event defined.


class Booking < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :event end

class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
end

When i add include ActiveModel::StateMachine to my Booking model the association stops working.


Booking.last.event NameError: undefined local variable or method event' for #<Class:0x7f68edac8728><br/>

I tracked the problem to ActiveModel::StateMachine::Event being imported as can be seen from this code:


Booking.reflections[:event] => #<ActiveRecord::Reflection::AssociationReflection:0x7fa1123db200 @klass=ActiveModel::StateMachine::Event, @primary_key_name="event_id", @active_record=Booking(id: integer, event_id: integer), @options={}, @macro=:belongs_to, @class_name="Event", @name=:event>

So .find is being called on ActiveModel::StateMachine::Event.

If i instead use:

require 'active_model/state_machine/machine' extend ActiveModel::StateMachine::ClassMethods

Then the behaviour is correct.


?> Booking.reflections[:event] => #<ActiveRecord::Reflection::AssociationReflection:0x7f3505b2a840 @klass=Event(id: integer, name: string), @primary_key_name="event_id", @active_record=Booking(id: integer, event_id: integer), @options={:class_name=>"Event"}, @macro=:belongs_to, @class_name="Event", @name=:event>

This is very different from the expected behaviour where the Event constant is not redefined and association works as normal.
