cakephp - Association between two models not working -

using cakephp 3.0, have (amongst others) 2 models associated:

<?php # src/model/table/informationtable.php namespace app\model\table; class informationtable extends apptable { public function initialize(array $config) { parent::initialize($config); $this->belongsto('contractor'); $this->belongsto('informationfield'); } } ?>

and

<?php # src/model/table/informationfieldstable.php namespace app\model\table; class informationfieldstable extends apptable { public function initialize(array $config) { parent::initialize($config); $this->hasmany('information'); } } ?>

in contractors controller, related models, next works fine:

$this->contractors->information

but when seek access informationfields model, error:

$this->contractors->information->informationfields

table "app\model\table\informationtable" not associated "informationfields"

i did little testing inflector class , singularization , pluralization of "information"<->"information" , "informationfield"<->"informationfields" works expected.

also, when placing debug() phone call in both models initialize() methods , fetching models through tableregistry, both initialize() methods called. in above scenario $this->contractors->information->informationfields, initialize() method of informationtable class run.

i stuck @ point. why association not working correctly?

edit: here more test cases:

$informationtable = tableregistry::get('information'); debug($informationtable->informationfields); #error: table "app\model\table\informationtable" not associated "informationfields" $informationfieldstable = tableregistry::get('informationfields'); debug($informationfieldstable->information); #no error

you wrote $this->belongsto('informationfield'); when should have been

$this->belongsto('informationfields'); (with s)
