I am testing with assert_equal Here is my Fixture: bob1: id: 1000001 login: bob glogin: bob-pbC8P9QkocYAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org session_token: 77a38 # test Here is my Test method: class Guser < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :session_token def self.match_login(glogin, login, ses_token) u=find(:first, :conditions=>["glogin = ? AND login = ?", glogin, login]) return nil if u.nil? if (u.session_token != ses_token) u.session_token = ses_token return u end nil end end The test database table is Guser and it has no rows to start with Here is my where I call test method: assert_equal @bob1, Guser.match_login("bob-pbC8P9QkocYAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org", "bob", "77a038") I get this message on the console: 1) Failure: test_match_login(GuserTest) [test/unit/guser_test.rb:14]: <#<Guser id: 1000001, glogin: "bob-pbC8P9QkocYAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org", login: "bob", session_token: "77a 0d943cdbace52716a9ef9fae12e45e2788d38", created_at: "2010-02-02 15:45:37", updat ed_at: "2010-02-02 15:45:37">> expected but was <nil>. 1 tests, 1 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips I expected the test to fail as there was no record in the database and the ''find'' should return nothing. But it creates a new one and the test is a success. I do not see any code for creating new record or save. So why is it creating a new record? I do not understand assert_equal behavior , can someone please explain? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What you actually don''t understand is how the test database is setup. In particular if you have a fixtures file for a table (as you appear to do) rails will create rows in that table for you based on your fixtures file.
