[Rails] uninitialized constant Test (NameError)

Hey Tom,

I faced this same problem recently as well. It turns out that I had a
require in app/controllers/application.rb that wasn''t finding the file,
and
was causing an exception to be thrown. Somehow, this got in the way of
loading ''test/unit.'' (Oddly enough, the tests all worked fine
on windows. It
turns out my bug was related to the fact that filenames on unix are case
sensitive, but they aren''t on windows!).

I dont think thats the exact same problem with yours, since its failing on a
unit test, not a functional test, but it may be a similar type of error.

Try running ''rake test_units --trace'' to see if you can find a
more useful
error message.
