hey guys: I met a very strange problem when testing a CallBack in model. I think the codes are very straightforward. model: class Download < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :drink after_create :add_download_count def add_download_count drink = Drink.find(self.drink_id) drink.download_count += 1 drink.save end end test: require ''test_helper'' class DownloadTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase # Replace this with your real tests. def setup @drink = drinks(:one) @user = users(:quentin) end test "the download count should increase when some one download a drink" do old_download_count = @drink.download_count puts @drink.download_count d = Download.new(:drink_id => @drink.id, :user_id => @user.id, :stars => 5) assert d.save assert_equal old_download_count + 1, @drink.reload.download_count end end But the test is always because the last assert. the @drink''s download_count is not increase... <6> expected but was <5>. This problem really make me crazy... Hope you guys can give me some help thanks a lot...
