Weird interaction with ActiveRecord when using :kind

[Ryan Garver]

I discovered an interesting side effect of using the kind option for a
has macro and setting it to an ActiveRecord model class. I found that
every one of these doodle objects that I created the AR class would
make a SHOW TABLES call to the DB. Apparently the culprit is lib/
doodle.rb line 281. The AR class is having inspect called on it.

This code was getting a little too meta for me to feel comfortable
hacking away after only a week of real use. I've stopped the SHOW
TABLES by dropping the :kind option altogether.

Hi Ryan,

I just released a new version of the gem (0.1.2 - may take a little
while to propagate) which attempted to address this issue but which I
found on further testing merely alleviated it.

I'll dig deeper tomorrow and sort it out in the next release.

I guess I need to start doing integration testing with Rails :S

Thanks for pointing this out - much appreciated.

Regards,
Sean

Hi Ryan,

I've hacked a little more at it and now think I've fixed the problem.

I'd be grateful if you could check version 0.1.3 to see if it solves
the issue for you.
