Rails - Sep 2008 - (strange) error on assert_equal

Hi all,

I''m having error on all unit test. Even this one:

hash = { :title => "recipe title",
      :description => "recipe description",
      :serving => 1,
      :directions => "do it"
    }
    recipe_expected = Recipe.new(hash)
    recipe_should_be_equal = Recipe.new(hash)
    assert_equal(recipe_expected, recipe_should_be_equal)

And this is the error i get:

test_should_be_equal                                                  FAIL
        ./test/unit/recipe_test.rb:16:in `test_should_be_equal''
        <#<Recipe id: nil, title: "recipe title", serving: 1,
description:
"recipe description", directions: "do it", created_at: nil,
updated_at:
nil>> expected but was
        <#<Recipe id: nil, title: "recipe title", serving: 1,
description:
"recipe description", directions: "do it", created_at: nil,
updated_at:
nil>>.

As far as i can see, the object is the same. I''m wondering why this is
happening.

Thanks,

Dida

That''s just how == is implemented for activerecord: if they have the
same id then they are equal, if not (or if one is unsaved) then they
are not equal (since saving them would result in 2 different rows in
the database.
