Rails creating wrong table name for model

Question

I'm creating a model named `Stadium` with `rails g model Stadium` but rails is converting table name to `stadia`. I've manually changed table name to `stadium` in the migration, and added `set_table_name "stadium"` in my model class. But all my routes are looking for `stadia_path`. I've tried `rails g model Stadium --force-plural` with no success. I think I should use an inflection for this, but I don't know how to create this inflection. Stadium is singular, I still need the plural stadiums for this model.

Accepted Answer

The dictionary says that both "stadiums" and "stadia" are correct (given that the word is Latin, "stadia" as plural for neuter words ending in -um seems legitimate).

Just add this to config/initializers/inflections.rb:

```
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.irregular 'stadium', 'stadiums'
end
```

You can set up all kinds of irregular plurals here.

Destroy your old generation by doing

```
rails d model Stadium
```

and generate it again doing

```
rails g model Stadium
```

You will see how it magically creates files like this:

```
db/migrate/20130330130335_create_stadiums.rb
```

Then run the migration and you're set!
