I don't think polymorphism in Rails can work that way 

did you try


`has_many :users_following, through: :active_relationships, source: :followable, source_type: "FollowableUser"`

`has_many :projects_following, through: :active_relationships, source: :followable, source_type: "FollowableProject"`

I am trying to setup a way for my `User` and `Project` model to both be followed through the same `Relationship` model.

I also want to be able to get all items the user has followed with this association:
`has_many :following, through: :active_relationships, source: :followable, source_type: "Followable"`


This way, the projects and users any user has followed can be called with `user.following`. In this case, `Followable` is the polymorphic object that is attributed to both users and projects. Unfortunately, it seems that I cannot set my source_type to a polymorphic object. Is there a way I can bypass this?

Many thanks
