[rspec-users] has_many_polymorphs is breaking my spec file
Hey folks
I have a bunch of classes that are polymorphs, with has_many_polymorphs
(they are all ''labellable'', which is similar to being
''taggable'' in the
acts_as_taggable scheme). I have a couple of modules,
LabellableInstanceMethods and LabellableClassMethods in a file called
labellable_methods.rb.
The classes all get labelled with ''properties'', and i set out
to write the
Property class first, using bdd of course. This all went fine. However,
when i came to start testing that the labelling was working properly, i
added the following code:
POLYMORPHIC_TABLENAMES = [:instructional_objects, :resources, :lessons,
:courses]
#this is breaking tests currently
has_many_polymorphs :labellables,
:from => POLYMORPHIC_TABLENAMES,
:through => :labellings,
:dependent => :destroy
Now, whenever i run the spec file, it bombs out as soon as it hits a
reference to the Property class (at the start of my main describe block),
saying
"/home/jars/rails/lesson_planner/branches/max/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:249:in
`load_missing_constant'': Expected
/home/jars/rails/lesson_planner/branches/max/app/models/property.rb to
define Property (LoadError)"
If i play around with the labelling system in the console, it seems to work
fine: ie, the above code works ''normally'', but is totally
breaking the spec
file.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? It''s driving me crazy and
stopping
me speccing other aspects of my labelling system.
thanks
max

Hmm, the results are exactly the same, down to the error message. And, as before, if i remove the has_many_polymorphs declaration there''s no problem. So its not rspec''s fault. But i''m still no closer to finding out what it is about my has_many_polymorphs declaration that the tests don''t like. :( On 05/03/2008, David Chelimsky <dchelimsky at gmail.com> wrote:> > On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 4:40 AM, Max Williams > <toastkid.williams at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey folks > > > > I have a bunch of classes that are polymorphs, with has_many_polymorphs > > (they are all ''labellable'', which is similar to being ''taggable'' in the > > acts_as_taggable scheme).
