AASM event and Rails model with the same name?

Question

How would I be able to use an event called ship in AASM if I also have a Rails model with that name?

event :ship do
   transitions :from => :quoted, :to => :shipped
end

class Ship < ApplicationRecord
end

Whenever I call the Rails method .ship AASM gets triggered and throws an error.

Is renaming my Ship model to Vessel the only way to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You should rename something: either event, or association:

belongs_to :vessel, class_name: “Ship”

Another alternative is to use namespace for state machine events
