Hi, I have a carts table with columns: campsite, arrival_date, nights, parents, children, family_claim, total. Here children and family_claim column allows null so even if the value is not passed for these columns it should be valid entry. How can I achieve this. At the moment I''m using this way in the cart_test.rb: def test_invalid_with_empty_attribute cart = Cart.new(:children => "", :family_claim => 1) assert !cart.valid? assert cart.errors.invalid?(:campsite) .............................. end So, I just wan''t to make sure I''m on the right track.

Hi Jay,
I quite like this way of working its nice and clean and each test demonstrates
exactly what you expect to be invalid and why
def setup
  @va.lid_attributes = {
    :parents => 1
    :children => 1,
    :family_clam => 1,
    :campsite => ''blah'',
    :total => 100,
  }
end
def test_valid
  cart = Cart.create(@valid_attributes)
  assert cart.valid?
end
def test_valid_if_children_is_nil
  cart = Cart.create(@valid_attributes.merge(:children => nil)
  assert cart.valid?
  # or
  assert cart.errors.on(:children).nil?
end
def test_invalid_if_total_is_nil
  cart = Cart.create(@valid_attributes.merge(:total => nil)
  assert ! cart.valid?
  assert cart.errors.on(:total)  
end
I hope this helps.
