Rails 2: Inflection for Address

Hey! I added an ActiveRecord model to a project today named Address. It’s exactly what you think it is and I want my Contacts in this project to have many addresses.

Because we’re so hip and cool on this project, we’re using Thoughbot’s Factory Girl gem. Yeah. So, I ran my tests and BAM! got this error:

1) Error:
    test: when something something something something "Address.count" from 1 to 0. (ContactTest):
    NameError: uninitialized constant Addres

Which can be traced to line 226 of Factory Girl’s factory.rb file, which does the following:

if class_or_to_s.respond_to?(:to_sym)
  class_or_to_s.to_s.classify.constantize
else
  ...

Seems simple enough to solve. Perhaps we should change the inflector rules to … say … this:

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.plural /(ss)$/i, '\1es'
  inflect.singular /(ss)es$/i, '\1'
end

Yeah … no! Still didn’t work. Went out to eat. Came back. Tried this stupid, stupid, stupid thing and … well … it worked:

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.singular /(ss)$/i, '\1'
end

Barf again!

Hopefully nothing else is broken now.
