Re: [Rails] Rails 4 "belongs_to: record" association doesn't work

Yes exactly. It's specific to the word 'record'. It works when I change it to :foo or :b (or anything else).

Are there any reserved words for association names?

In the subject line you indicate that problem is specific to using the
word 'record' with belongs_to.  Is that correct?  In other words do
you get the same error with belongs_to :foo, .....
