Observers and Rails 2.3.5

Reported by sad sheep | February 4th, 2010 @ 03:55 PM

Hello there guys,
i'm facing a strange problem using Observers with Rails 2.3.5.

1) I generated a new observer using builtin generator
2) I added observer into environment.rb (config.active_record.observers = [:project])

Observer content
class ProjectObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
def after_create(project)

#

end end

Rails 2.3.5 crashes at startup, with following message
=> Booting Mongrel => Rails 2.3.5 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.5/lib/active_record/base.rb:1959:in method_missing': undefined methodinstance' for #<Class:0x1034416d8> (NoMethodError)

Rails 2.3.4 boots without problems.

How can i help you to get this fixed?
Need other informations?

Thanks.

    Not sure how this was working in 2.3.4, but your syntax is incorrect: :project in config.active_record.observers should be :project_observer.

    Sorry for my mistake :(

    Rails 2.3.5 works with your syntax.

    I suggest to change into environment.rb the following commented lines then:

    Activate observers that should always be running

    config.active_record.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector, :forum_observer

    Thanks and keep up the good work!

    • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

    I'm unsure what your comment above is supposed to mean - there's no magic applied to the names of the observers, so what you put in the config statement is what you get.

    Closing for now.
