See comments for updates. I've been struggling to get a clear and straight-forward answer on this one, I'm hoping this time I'll get it! :D I definitely have a lot to learn still with Rails, however I do understand the problem I'm facing and would really appreciate additional help. I have a model called "Task". I have an abstract model called "Target". I would like to relate multiple instances of subclasses of Target to Task. I am not using single table inheritance. I would like to query the polymorphic relationship to return a mixed result set of subclasses of Target. I would like to query

An almost indentical question to this has been asked before ( How to use shoulda matchers to test a polymorphic assoication? ) but there was no definitive answer that helps me, so I am trying again. I am using shoulda to test my associations and the following test fails require 'spec_helper' describe LabourEpidural do before {@treatment = FactoryGirl.build :treatment} subject {@treatment} it{should have_many :complications} end This fails with the following message Failure/Error: it{should have_many :complications} Expected Treatment to have a has_many association called complications
