similar to: Problem with test_truth

I''ve got a strange issue. My default unit tests are failing for two models. I haven''t changed _anything_ in the test. Here''s an example: Output: 1) Error: test_truth(ShippingCostTypeTest): NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occured while evaluating nil.find

I left ":memory:" in database.yml for testing and the most simple tests in the Agile book do not work (see trace below for test_truth). Since that''s what comes with the distributed database.yml I suppose it''s me doing something wrong. Did someone get SQLite ":memory:" working? How does it grab the schema? -- fxn % rake test_units (in

Following the directions in: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/04/19/rest-on-rails.html?page=2 I get through the: rake db:migrate With the tables created properly but then when I run the: rake test:units I get a failure: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: RuntimeError: ERROR C23502 Mnull value in column "title" violates not-null constraint FexecMain.c L1750

I''m working with a legacy postgresql database where the names of tables, columns, etc., do not usually follow Rails conventions. I''ve been able to work around it for the most part, but I ran into this: I have the following test: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class SponsorTest < Test::Unit::TestCase self.use_transactional_fixtures =

I''ve encountered a perplexing problem whilst following along the demo app in the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a brief time line of my tale of woe:- 0.

I''ve been reading the RoR tutorials and wiki help stuff, but I''m stuck. :( I''ve got RoR installed properly and get the "Welcome aboard! You''re riding the rails." I have an "article" controller, "article" model, and both an "article" and "articles" views (one is a remnant, I think, and no longer needed) (the

I''m resending this with additional information, as I''ve had no response. I''ve been trying to use the fixture_references plugin, and I seem to be getting lots of: 1) Error: test_truth(DeviceTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: #HY000Field ''description_id'' doesn ''t have a default value: INSERT INTO devices (`id`) VALUES (2)

Hi, I''m getting a conflict between the Mocha plugin and the Rails SimplyHelpful plugin. For some reason the dom_id method from SimplyHelpful is not being found in my views when the Mocha plugin is installed. The dom_id method if used in the controller works properly. This is the error I get when running the tests: 1) Error: test_truth(HmmControllerTest):

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

When I run rake against Rails 8.5 to test unaltered model tests with yaml fixtures I get the error and stack trace reproduced below for every one of my model objects. Has anyone seen something this before? Any idea what could be going on here?

Cucumberists (and RSpec Classic users ;): How can we convert a Cucumber feature file into HTML with syntax highlighting? Not the test-runner output; that''s preprocessed so it does not match the input file... Tx! -- Phlip

RSpec-ers: I''m aware this is quite the FAQ. I have probably asked it myself, but I just can''t Google up anything but others asking it. I grabbed the source to Beast, to use as a Rails project uninfluenced by me, or RSpec. Then I installed the CURRENT version of RSpec and rspec_on_rails, and set up a model spec on Post. Here''s the spec_helper.rb lines:

My latest stupid web trick, built, with love, in Rails: http://wordie.org Make lists of words. See who else likes the same words. Basically, it''s a dating site.

hello. i just checked Chad Fowler''s post "20 Rails Development No-No''s" and one guideline caught my attention. it says: "Nothing that looks at all like SQL should go into a controller, view, or helper." it really came as a surprise to me as Rails itself seems to go against such practice by its AR ''conditions'' option, which most of the times

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model? Or

Railsters: Despite Rails being the only Web platform designed for TDD, a lot of its test infrastructure is still "cargo cult" - imitating other test rigs instead of understanding their principles. Most importantly, tests should run instantly. There''s no excuse for breaking this rule, and if you invent a platform that can''t obey it then you are doing something

Why do the generated test files have: require ''test_helper'' It cannot obviously find the file because it''s located in a subdirectory. That''s annoying. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
