Possibly unhandled Error: A valid target model must be defined for the workspaces belongsToManyrelation

Hi!

I was testing out bookshelf but I am getting this error and I just don’t know how to fix it. Could you please help me out?

I got the following models:

var Bookshelf = require('bookshelf').DB;
var User = require("./user").model;

exports.model = Bookshelf.Model.extend(
{
    tableName: "workspaces",
    users: function() 
    {
        return this.belongsToMany(User, "userworkspaces", "WorkspaceId", "UserId");
    }
});

and

var Bookshelf = require('bookshelf').DB;
var Workspace = require("./workspace").model;

exports.model = Bookshelf.Model.extend(
{
    tableName: "users",
    hidden: ['password', 'activationToken', 'forgotToken', 'forgotDate'],   
    workspaces: function() 
    {
        return this.belongsToMany(Workspace, "userworkspaces", "UserId", "WorkspaceId");
    },
    virtuals: 
    {
        fullName: function() 
        {
            return this.get('firstName') + ' ' + this.get('lastName');
        }
    }
});

When I do the following it works just fine and as expected

new Users().fetch({
        withRelated: ['workspaces']
    }).then(function(collection) {
        res.send(collection.toJSON());
    });

but when I try:

    new Workspaces().fetch({
        withRelated: ['users']
    }).then(function(collection) {
        res.send(collection.toJSON());
    }); 

It gives me the following error:

Possibly unhandled Error: A valid target model must be defined for the workspaces belongsToManyrelation

For anyone coming from Google (like me), here is the current link to the Wiki for the Registry plugin: https://github.com/tgriesser/bookshelf/wiki/Plugin:-Model-Registry

Never mind. I think I just found it. It had to do with the way I was loading the models. The syntax was correct.
