Hi,
Im stating to play with rails testing and have hit a slight snag that
i''m hoping someone can hit me with a clue bat for.
I have my models and associations set up correctly and all is working
as it should.
I only have the auto generated tests at the moment and the
test_should_get_index test is failing.
The controller is just a default controller but i get the following
error on the test as i modified the index view.
test_should_get_index(CommitsControllerTest):
ActionView::TemplateError: You have a nil object when you didn''t
expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.real_name
On line #13 of commits/index.html.erb
10:
11: <% for commit in @commits %>
12: <tr>
13: <td><%=h commit.person.real_name.name%></td>
14: <td><%=h commit.project.name %></td>
15: <td><%=h commit.log %></td>
16: <td><%=h commit.date %></td>
The commit controller as i say has not been modified since being
generated
And the index method is
def index
@commits = Commit.find(:all)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @commits }
end
end
This works fine in normal usage so i guess i need to modify the test
somehow.
The test looks like
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper''
class CommitsControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
fixtures :commits, :people, :projects
def test_should_get_index
get :index
assert_response :success
assert_not_nil assigns(:commits)
end
Clearly i am missing something, i thought just loading the necessary
fixtures would make it work.
So what is the correct way to fix this?
Thanks
Mark Kirby
