undefined method for ActiveRecord::Relation

Question

User model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :medicalhistory 
end

Mdedicalhistory model

class Medicalhistory &l         


        

Answer 1

One other thing to note, :medicalhistory should be plural as it is a has_many relationship

So your code:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :medicalhistory 
end

Should be written:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :medicalhistories 
end

From the Rails docs (found here)

The name of the other model is pluralized when declaring a has_many association.

This is because rails automatically infers the class name from the association name.

If a user only had_one medicalhistory this would be singular as you had written:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :medicalhistory 
end

I know you already accepted an answer, but thought this would help reduce further errors/confusion.
