ruby on rails 3.1 - (Object doesn't support #inspect)

I have a simple case, involving two model classes:

class Game < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :snapshots

  def initialize(params={})
   # ...
  end
end

class Snapshot < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :game

  def initialize(params={})
  # ...
  end
end

with these migrations:

class CreateGames < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :games do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.string :difficulty
      t.string :status

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

class CreateSnapshots < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :snapshots do |t|
      t.integer :game_id
      t.integer :branch_mark
      t.string  :previous_state
      t.integer :new_row
      t.integer :new_column
      t.integer :new_value

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

If I attempt to create a Snapshot instance in rails console, using

Snapshot.new

I get

(Object doesn't support #inspect)

Now for the good part. If I comment out the initialize method in snapshot.rb, then Snapshot.new works. Why is this happening?
BTW I am using Rails 3.1, and Ruby 1.9.2

This is happening because you override the initialize method of your base class (ActiveRecord::Base). Instance variables defined in your base class will not get initialized and #inspect will fail.

To fix this problem you need to call super in your sub class:

class Game < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :snapshots

  def initialize(params={})
   super(params)
   # ...
  end
end
