Most likely to do with the order of the arguments. The second argument is expected to be a scope, or it can be nil and then it passes to the options hash.

-> means create a Proc and pass in the current object. You might try order: { id: :desc } and see if that works. I think you're getting the arguments too deeply nested here.

Also read the docs for has_many at API Dock. Also you may be missing an opportunity to use a scope for your ordering, since the second argument to has_may is supposed to be a scope.
