[rspec-users] Speccing a model class method in Rails produces nil

Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.0.3, Rspec-rails 2.2.0

I have:

Factory.define :season_date do |f|
  f.season_date Date.new(2011,9,24)
  f.date_type "season_start"
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.mock_with :rspec
end

Factory.define :season_date do |f|
  f.season_date Date.new(2011,9,24)
  f.date_type "season_start"
end

Factory.define :season_date do |f|
  f.season_date Date.new(2011,9,24)
  f.date_type "season_start"
end

require ''spec_helper''
describe SeasonDate do
  before(:each) do
    @start_date_record = Factory.create(:season_date)
    @no_play_date_record = Factory.create(:season_date, season_date:
Date.today, date_type: "no_play")
  end
  it "responds to the find_start_record method call" do
    SeasonDate.should respond_to(:find_start_record)
  end
  it "returns the record with the season start date" do
    SeasonDate.find_start_record.should == @start_date_record
  end
end

and I get

rspec -f d -b spec/models/season_date_spec.rb
SeasonDate
  responds to the find_start_record method call
  returns the record with the season start date (FAILED - 1)

Failures:

  1) SeasonDate returns the record with the season start date
     Failure/Error: SeasonDate.find_start_record.should =@start_date_record
     expected: #<SeasonDate id: 66, season_date: "2011-09-24",
date_type: "season_start", created_at: "2010-12-03
17:03:58",
updated_at: "2010-12-03 17:03:58">,
          got: nil (using ==)

I''m doing something dumb, but I don''t know what. Any
assistance much
appreciated!

Do you actually have 3 identical factories or was that just a copy/paste error?

The fact that this example ^^ sends SeasonDate the find_start_record message
makes the previous example unnecessary.

Can''t really tell from what you''ve posted. Please post the
implementation of SeasonDate.season_date.

I can''t believe I did that...
No, there is only one Factory; copy and paste error. The SeasonDate
class is:
class SeasonDate < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.find_start_record
    where(["date_type = ?", "start_date"]).first
  end
end
Agreed regarding the redundant test - I just put that in when things
went wrong.
Thanks for responding

[rspec-users] Speccing a model class method in Rails produces nil

Apologies if this is a repeat post but google seemed to ignore my last
effort.
There is only one Factory - copy, paste and editing error.
I can''t believe that I didn''t include the code being tested...

class SeasonDate < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.find_start_record
    where(["date_type = ?", "start_date"]).first
  end
end

Agreed re redundant test - I put that in when the ''real'' test
failed.

I think the problem is "start_date" vs "season_start". The
factory says:

Factory.define :season_date do |f|
 f.season_date Date.new(2011,9,24)
 f.date_type "season_start"
end

date_type == "start_date" # in the implementation
date_type == "season_start" # in the factory
