rspec users - Nov 2010 - be_valid method undefined on model spec

Hi all,

I''m using rspec-rails and have a simple model spec which fails with
the following trace:

undefined local variable or method `be_valid'' for #<Class:
0x00000102c6e820> (NameError)

Full trace: https://gist.github.com/713164

The spec is simple:

require ''spec_helper''

describe Deal do

  describe "it should not allow start dates in the past" do
    Deal.new.should be_valid
  end

end


That above fails. I''m running rspec 2.1.0. Any ideas what could be
wrong? I''m searched the list and unfortunately haven''t found
anything
similar. Is it that rspec-rails isn''t being loaded correctly? All my
controller specs work just fine.

Thanks!

This ^^ creates an example group, but the next line should be in an
example. Change the line ^^ above to:

  it "should not allow start dates in the past" do

That will create an example (as opposed to a group).

HTH,

Try Deal.new.should be_valid?

No, don''t. That doesn''t work, and what I wrote below does :)

Cheers,
