Singular form problem

#3390

Hi,

I have a model with a user and many of his drives.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

has_many :drives

end

class Drive < ActiveRecord:: Base

belongs_to :user

end

Now when I want to add another drive to the user like so:

drive = Drive.new() # ... user = user.find(x) user.drives << drive

This will create this error:

NameError: uninitialized constant User::Drife

    This is an inflection issue that can be solved by putting the following in config/initializers/inflections.rb:

    ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.irregular 'drive', 'drives'
end
