Greetings,
I have a simple model called "Section" with integration tests that
pass. However, when I add a simple validation to the model
(validates_presence_of :name) the integration test fails. This makes
no sense to me because I am passing in a name.
Does anyone know why that validation breaks my integration test?
INTEGRATION TEST
require "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/../test_helper"
class SectionsTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
fixtures :sections
def test_user_creates_new_section
#Navigate to new Section form
get ''/sections/new''
assert_response :success
#Submit new Section form with params
post ''/sections/create'', :name => sections(:Home).name
assert_response :redirect
follow_redirect!
#Test that Section was created successfully and user was
redirected to show page
assert_template ''sections/show''
assert_equal ''Section was successfully created.'',
flash[:notice]
end
end
MODEL CODE
class Section < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :pages
before_create :set_create_user
before_save :set_modified_user
validates_presence_of :name #Adding this line causes the integration
test above fail
validates_uniqueness_of :name
private
def set_create_user
self.created_by = 1
end
def set_modified_user
self.modified_by = 2
end
end
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thanks for the reply, Frederick. However, if I remove the validates_presence_of validation then the Section can be saved without a name. Is there a different way I should validating that the :name exists and is :unique? Thanks again. -B On Jan 1, 4:06 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On 1 Jan 2009, at 02:13, bdeverea <bdeve...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > > Greetings, > > I have a simple model called "Section" with integration tests that > > pass.

Oh, I misunderstood your reply. My apologies. I now see that you''re saying that the validates_uniqueness_of is the validation that is throwing the error because I am using a Section from the Fixtures. However, if I simply remove the validates_presence_of validation it works fine. In addition, it fails even if I don''t use the fixtures and simply enter in a random string for the :name value.
