Installing has_versioning as a plugin breaks Rails application

[cjk]

I wanted to try out has_versioning as it sounds very promising from it's description.

So I installed it as a plugin.

But as soon as I've done that, without any other modifications yet on my models, my application started breaking in many ways.

I got errors like "undefined method `real_id' for #Class:0x2b772b6acb38" and others.

I'm using Rails 2.3.4

I'm using standard AR naming conventions.

Is has_versioning supposed to break an application after being installed and (not yet) configured.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Thanks, Claus

Sorry to hear it blew up your app. It really shouldn't be blowing up your Rails app..

A stack trace would be handy to track down where/how its getting engaged before you are ready to use it.

I was about to install it as plugin ...

Sorry, can't provide a stack-trace since I switched to another versioning-solution. But for anyone having similar issues should try to install this (or any other plugin that is) as a gem instead. Load order might be the culprit. Actually I think has_versioning itself might not have caused the problem, but other plugins.

We too are facing the same problem. we are using Rails 2.3.5

Here is the stack trace undefined method `real_id' for #Class:0xb6eefb68
