Section I3 should have you restart the rails server after you create the associations

[kleinjoshuaa]

I was having trouble in I3 tagging. I got to the point where I'm supposed to try 'tag.articles' and I got a stack trace. The pertinent part is probably here:

NoMethodError: undefined method `articles' for #tagging::activerecord_associations_collectionproxy:0xb0d99a8

It was really strange because article.tags works just fine but tag.articles does not. I followed all the directions and I didn't see anything out of place in the models for the tag and the articles and the taggings.

The issue was that I hadn't restarted the rails server. And none of the debugging I tried to do showed any issues at all. A reload! won't fix it.

Once I restarted the server the associations worked fine and I could view the articles associated with a tag.

Thanks for the tip; I just ran into the same problem. I'll just mention that you're supposed to restart the console too, 'reload!' won't do the trick.
