Rails - May 2006 - Need help with a test

Hi,

I have this controller method that I need to test:

  def link_concept_to_client
    concept_to_link = Concept.find(params[:concept_id])
    # take all the variations for the concept
    for variation in concept_to_link.variations
      new_client_variation = ClientVariation.new
      new_client_variation.client = session[:active_client]
      new_client_variation.variation = variation
      new_client_variation.name_fr = variation.name_fr
      new_client_variation.name_en = variation.name_en
      new_client_variation.save
    end
    flash[:notice] = "Concept linked"
    redirect_to(:action => "list")
  end

it is working fine when I use it in dev, but when I run this test (see 
next), it fails:

  def test_link_concept
    #create a new concept
    new_concept = Concept.new
    new_concept.name = "concept a lier"
    new_concept.description = "ce concept va etre lie"
    new_concept.save
    #give it a variation
    new_variation = Variation.new
    new_variation.name_fr = "nom de la variation"
    new_variation.description = "name of the variation"
    new_variation.concept_id = new_concept.id
    new_variation.save

    #link it to the client
    get :link_concept_to_client, {:concept_id  => new_concept.id}, 
{:active_client  => clients(:air_canada)}
    #there should now be a client_variation for the variation
    assert_not_nil 
ClientVariation.find_by_variation_id(new_variation.id)
    assert_equal new_variation.name_fr, (ClientVariation.find_by_name_fr 
new_variation.name_fr).name_fr

  end

Sorry for the blooted code, I had to decompose everything in small part 
to locate the problem...

The error message is:
NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
The error occured while evaluating nil.name_fr
    specific_controller_test.rb:45:in `test_link_concept''


The weird thing is that the first assert works which means that there is 
something in the DB for that record, but the second assertion doesnt 
work.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks a lot!

Forget about this, running all my tests I located the source of the 
problem... totaly not related to this!
