You'll have to provide some details.

Hi @excid3, I'm facing the same issue undefined method 'notifications'. Previously things were working perfectly. I just added multi-tenancy using 'act-as-tenant' gem to my models like spam_monitor.

You'll have to add some details. Half an error message isn't much to debug with. 😜

First, thank you @excid3 for this great gem! and your screencast. I watched it a while ago and was looking for an excuse to add it to a project. Now, I have found one.

I also ran into this error message and can provide some details and how I solved it. I originally ran the rails generate noticed:model and got an error

The name 'Notification' is either already used in your application or reserved by Ruby on Rails. Please choose an alternative or use --skip-collision-check or --force to skip this check and run this generator again.

I have a view_component named Notification, which handles alert/flash messages. I attempted to run the generator with both --skip-collision-check and --force as suggested, but without luck. So, I renamed it to ActivityNotification. I added the has_many association to my User model, but renamed it to :activity_notifications. This is where my mistake was. I got this error when trying to run OnboardingCompleted.with(contributor: contributor).deliver(current_user).

To solve this, add:

has_many :notifications, as: :recipient, class_name: 'ActivityNotification'

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks @mattwr18. I haven't actually tested much with other model names, so we'll take a look. 👍

I'm going to update the README with these notes but another option if you want to use a custom name for the notification model you can do the following:

rails g noticed:model ActivityNotification

# Then in your `User` model add:
class User < ApplicationRecord
   has_many :activity_notifications, as: :recipient
end

# NOTE: If you are using the database delivery method you will need to also add:
class CommentNotification < Noticed::Base
    deliver_by :database, association: :activity_notifications
end
