Hi, I am trying to follow the book ''Beginning Ruby on Rails
e-commerce''
examples.
When I come to unit testing I get an error message:
C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe -I"lib;test"
"C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb"
"test/unit/author_test.rb"
"test/unit/helpers/about_helper_test.rb"
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:440:in
`load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant Test::Unit::Testcase
(NameError)
My test/unit/author_test.rb looks like this:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '' /../test_helper''
class AuthorTest < Test::Unit::Testcase
fixtures :authors
def test_name
author=Author.create(:first_name => ''Joel'',
:last_name => ''Spolsky'')
assert_equal ''Joel Spolsky'', author.name
end
end
Why do I get the error message ?

What version of Rails are you using?

He''s using 2.3.2 from the errors.. So, did you create everything from scratch? Or, did you read a section in the book that said go to x website and download the incomplete or complete samples and you are working from those? If you are working from samples, the samples are probably not using the same RoR version you are. That''s the very first question I''d answer. Most books and source files that go with those books are out of date already. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Thanks guys, I have been out of town a few days, thats why this late reply. I am using Rails 2.3.2 The book was published in 2006 so I guess the examples can be out of date. I ran into that when the book mentioned start-form-tag and end-form-tag... Took me a while to figure that out. Anyways, I am buildng all the examples from scratch, and so far I have not downloaded anything, so it could be a typo, even though I have checked the code several times... Tha last two suggestions I haven''t tried yet, but I will. cheers, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
