strange error about brick HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Lorin great job as always! Thanks.

from brick.

Oh interesting! If descrips ends up nil then on line 98 right before this it may write out to the terminal:

Caught it in the act for obj / status_id

or something similar. Would be great to see if that's showing up in the terminal.

Have added the orders_status, orders_tax_status, and inventory_transactions tables to a Northwind database and set up the models like you have, and so far mine is working:

Because the word "status" is one of those that pluralises weirdly, I did try setting up an entry in the inflections.rb file to see if that might be part of it:

# config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections(:en) do |inflect|
  inflect.uncountable %w(orders_status orders_tax_status)
end

Ended up with a kinda similar error as to what you describe when rendering orders. Looking into pluralisation and such a bit further now.

Heya @iatfrepo -- looks this overly-ambitious set of code designed to set @_brick_model when it is nil was preventing a couple of admin panels from working:

Have dialed this back (thankfully it was never a part of a release, only here in the unreleased code), and also added a little more resilience to #brick_grid so that in the event the belongs_to descriptions are absent, it keeps going instead of having the error surface that you have seen. This has made its way into release 1.0.137 of the gem. To update an existing Rails project, you can run bundle update brick and it should pull this newer version and put it into your Gemfile.lock.

Thanks for your contribution!
