Rails - Jun 2005 - Agile Book - p.151 test_login_with_invalid_user() NameError: uninitialized constant SHA1

When running ruby test/functional/login_controller_test.rb I get this:

  1) Error:
test_login_with_invalid_user(LoginControllerTest):
NameError: uninitialized constant SHA1
   
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.0.4.1490/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:182:in
`const_missing''
    ./test/functional/../../config/..//app/models/user.rb:34:in
`hash_password''
    ./test/functional/../../config/..//app/models/user.rb:14:in `login''
    ./test/functional/../../config/..//app/models/user.rb:20:in
`try_to_login''
    ./test/functional/../../config/..//app/controllers/login_controller.rb:16:in
`login''
<snip>

my hash_password() looks like this (right out of the example)

def self.hash_password(password)
    Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password)
end

does SHA1 appear to be a constant because it''s all upper-case? 
Am I just braindead?
I''m running actionpack-1.8.1.1490 which should be the latest.

Do you have;

require "digest/sha1"

Check on page 121. Hope that helps. :)

Well I''m impressed. Seems strange that the code would work when the
test fails.
Also: Are you psychic? If so, I have an off-by-one error in a
GIMP(lisp) script for you to fix ;-)

thanks,
