Rails - Oct 2005 - Unit Test Error: `load_specification': undefined method `parse' for Time:Class

All,

I''ve come across a confusing problem when attempting to run unit tests
for an application on OSX (works on Windows).

I''m receiving the following error:

`load_specification'': undefined method `parse'' for Time:Class
(NoMethodError)

This is also confusing because I can''t figure out how the error
appeared. When I revert back to previous revisions, the error still
appears (even though it didn''t in the past).

I''m using Rails 0.13.1 and Ruby 1.8.2. Again, the error does not
appear on Windows.

Anyone come across this problem?

Full stack trace below---

Derek,

I''m not able to reproduce this using Rails 0.14.1. Could it be some  
other gem you have installed getting in the way? Like, a third-party  
Rails extension or something?

Also, does putting

   require ''time''

in your environment.rb help at all?

Jamis,

Thanks for the hint.

The problem occurs with the salted login generator. Removing
test/mocks/time.rb fixes the problem and all tests pass.

Thanks again,

Derek

Yes, well, I don''t know of anyone who''s been able to use the
salted
hash login generator without problems.

I''m going to be wildly unpredicable here, and suggest that the salted  
hash login generator might make a better plugin than a generator...  
Anyone want to test that?

It is already in progress. I''m sure someone will announce at the  
right time. Rick Olson, for example.
