Hi marco, I've just solved this, it seems there was a jump or something because as soon as I added this

  has_many :friends, through: :user_friendships,
                     conditions: { user_friendships: { state: 'accepted' } }

  has_many :pending_user_friendships, class_name: 'UserFriendship',
                                      foreign_key: :user_id,
                                      conditions: { state: 'pending' }
  has_many :pending_friends, through: :pending_user_friendships, source: :friend

into the user.rb file everything worked fine.

Hope this helps
