在活动记录中进行多对多自引用关系的正确方法是什么？

Question

我有以下有效记录模型：

class Relationship < ActiveRecord::Base  
  belongs_to :user  
  belongs_to :follower, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => 'follower_id'  
end  

class User < ActiveRecord::Base  
  has_many :relationships  
  has_many :followers, :through => :relationships  
end  

尝试user.followers时出错     ArgumentError：未知密钥：标识符
