DBIx join problem

[jsmith2012]

i cant get the join to work for the dbix class. below are my 2 tables - i have removed the unnecessary columns. I am trying to perform the SQL query: "select * from image_folder as f, image_description as d where f.name = 'japan' and f.id=d.folder_id". i have tried following the dbix documentation to no avail. any suggestions?

package WorldTravelBlog::Model::DB::ImageDescription;

use strict;
use warnings;

use base 'DBIx::Class';

__PACKAGE__->load_components("Core");
__PACKAGE__->table("image_description");
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
  "id",
  { data_type => "INT", default_value => undef, is_nullable => 0, size
+ => 11 },
  "folder_id",
  { data_type => "INT", default_value => undef, is_nullable => 0, size
+ => 11 },
  "name",
  {
    data_type => "VARCHAR",
    default_value => undef,
    is_nullable => 0,
    size => 64,
  },
);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key("id");
__PACKAGE__->belongs_to(
  "folder_id",
  "WorldTravelBlog::Model::DB::ImageFolder",
  { id => "folder_id" },
);

1;

package WorldTravelBlog::Model::DB::ImageFolder;

use strict;
use warnings;

use base 'DBIx::Class';

__PACKAGE__->load_components("Core");
__PACKAGE__->table("image_folder");
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
  "id",
  { data_type => "INT", default_value => undef, is_nullable => 0, size
+ => 11 },
  "name",
  {
    data_type => "VARCHAR",
    default_value => undef,
    is_nullable => 0,
    size => 64,
  },
);
__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key("id");
__PACKAGE__->has_many(
  "image_descriptions",
  "WorldTravelBlog::Model::DB::ImageDescription",
  { "foreign.folder_id" => "self.id" },
);

A couple thoughts:

• Have you tested your sql statement with DBI and found that it worked (ie, how sure are you it's DBIx)
• What errors were reported by DBIx when you attempted to prepare and/or execute the statement?

FWIW, I have no trouble joining tables and creating charts based off a select statement using DBIx.

below is the dbix query that i came up w/ from the documentation. The error i got was "No relationship DBIx::Class::ResultSet::count(): No such relationship image_folder". i have tested the sql and it works.

my $rs = $schema->resultset('ImageDescription')->search(
    { 'image_folder.name' => 'japan' }, 
    { join => { 'image_folder' =>  'image_folder'} }
);

The two code snippets above only defines metadata for use to configure DBIx::Class. Where is the code where you try to query and fail?
