A bug in rails? About model inherited.

Question

My env: ruby-1.9.2-preview3; rails-3.0.0.beta3

---

class PostFather < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.inherited(subclass)
  end
end

class Post < PostFather
end

---

In the console:

---

> Post.new # => TypeError: can't dup NilClass
> Post.all # => TypeError: can't dup NilClass
> Post.scoped # => TypeError: can't dup NilClass

---

You can try it yourself;

Answer 1

ActiveRecord is using the inherited method, you need to call super so the ActiveRecord stuff still runs:

class PostFather < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.inherited(subclass)
    super(subclass)
  end
end
