I generated scaffolding for User with the following schema:
create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
t.string "name"
t.string "company"
t.string "lastcompany"
t.datetime "changed"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
When I run the automatically generated functional tests against the
Users controller, I get one failure:
test_should_update_user(UsersControllerTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `|’ for Wed Apr 29 23:49:18 UTC
2009:Time
Oddly, if I just run this one test it passes:
>ruby functional\users_controller_test.rb -n test_should_update_user
Loaded suite functional/users_controller_test
Started
.
Finished in 0.594 seconds.
1 tests, 1 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
The failure seems to be on this line of my controller:
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
Because if I change it to "if true" my test passes.
The only thing unique about this particular class is that it has an
additional datetime member. I''m not having luck with google searches
because of that pipe character. Hopefully I''m running into a fairly
common failure here?

That was it. It took me a while to confirm because I (stupidly) wrote a migration to replace "change" (notice the missing "d") with "lastchanged". The good part is that it forced me to install ruby- debug to take a closer look, and I was able to see the problem for myself. Thanks for the help!
