Hi all, I am having a problem with unit tests. Whenever I have a dependency between two models (B depends on A) deleting A should also delete B. This is simple with the dependent parameter in the model file of A. But when I write a test the dependency seems to work, I can''t find the answer with id 1 anymore(Answer.find(1)). But I appearently _do_ find it with Answer.find_by_question_id(1) or Answer.find(:first, :conditions => "question_id = 1"). What am I doing wrong?? Below you will find the relevant files used in testing. questions.yml: first_question: id: 1 question: "Will fixture files work?" answer: "No" answers.yml: first_answer: id: 1 question_id: 1 question_test.rb: class QuestionTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :categories, :questions, :answers def test_destroy question = questions(:first) id = question.id question.destroy assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) {Question.find(1)} assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) {Answer.find(1)} assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) {Answer.find_by_question_id(1)} <<TROUBLE, ACTUALLY SUCCEEDS #assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) {Answer.find(:all, :conditions => "question_id = 1" )} <<AND AGAIN TROUBLE end end question.rb: class Question < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :answer, :dependent => true end With many thanks, Harm -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
