I have finally decided to look into testing and I am going through the examples in the AWDWR book and I tried the following and it does not work... even though I don''t see why it shouldn''t. =========== posts.yml =========== basic_post: id: 1 title: Title body: Body created_at: 2006-02-01 00:00:00 updated_at: 2006_02-02 00:00:00

Apparently the first time I posted this, it was tacked onto the end of another thread. Please pardon my repost. Won''t happen again. -------- Howdy. I''m just getting into Rails, and really enjoying it! I''m coming from the .NET world, so I''ll embarrassedly admit that I''m running it on winXP and even using SQLServer (for now, may switch to mysql

I''m trying to write a test like the one at the bottom of page 148 in Agile Rails. I''m using rails 1.0 I''ve created the fixture correctly I''m pretty sure because the test database table is being populated per the fixture. I have what I think is a simple unit test: ========= require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class CaseTest

ciao a tutti.     come al solito, sto andando avanti a piccoli passi nel creare l''applicazione depot del libro "Sviluppare Applicazioni Web con Rails". Ora mi trovo nella fase di creazione dei test automatizzati. Ma c''è una cosa che proprio non capisco: Ho la seguente classe in ~/depot/test/unit/product_test.rb require File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hello, I am exploring the "Testing" part of Rails, but It seems some things work differently than I thought it would. Consider the following model: class Client < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :project def after_create Project.new(:name => self.name, :is_client => true, :client_id => self.id).save end def after_update

hi all, my first attempt at tests and i''m having trouble accessing the fixture values, if anyone can make it suggestions. i have news_release_test.rb, using new_releases.yml as the fixture file according to the agile book, i should be able to access the fixture properties within my test as such: assert_equal @first_test.id , @news_release.id unfortunately, i try that and get:

Ok, I''m pretty sure I''ve seen this done before. I have a fixture that isn''t named the same as the table I want to insert the stuff into. Whats the right way to go about this?! Google has failed me! :( -Nick

I''m using the runt library [1] to do some temporal expression matching. I want to keep the expression in a binary field in my db. I figured that then in order to do the fixtures, I''d need to do some erb in the yaml file. So I came up with this: onetime: id: 1 name: One Time description: This event occurs only one time. timex: <%= REYear.new(7) & REMonth.new(24)

Hi! Yesterday I started to write my unit tests for the fist time using rails. I''m using this method: http://blog.codahale.com/2005/12/23/a-rails-howto-simplify-your-unit-tests/ My customer_test.rb looks like this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class CustomerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :customers # Replace this with your real

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

Hello All, I am experiencing the following test unit error working with Rails that I can''t fathom. I have a products.yml file which holds the following test fixture for the products table: dell_pc: id: 1 title: Dell PC description: Dell PC image_url: http://.../pc_image.jpg price: 15000.00 date_available: 2005-12-31 06:53:00 I also have the following product_test.rb file to

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 just started working through ''Agile'' chapter 12 ''Testing''. I''ve followed the steps carefully, setting up a fixture and unit test to check the creation of an order. When I run the test I get the following: Loaded suite test/unit/order_test Started F Finished in 0.108008 seconds. 1) Failure: test_create(OrderTest)

Hey all, I''m following along with AWDWR, specifically the unit testing. On page 148, it shows you how Test::Unit::TestCase will automatically define instance variables based on your fixtures. It doesn''t seem to actually work, though. It seems that both @artists ["beatles"]["name"] and @beatles.name are nil objects in my test, where as

Hello, i am trying to fix the code for fixtures in rails because it is buggy and internal variable names are confusing, could somebody please explain to me what is the intended purpose of Fixture and Fixtures classes respectively? For example, why do we need both `Fixtures.initialize`and `Fixture.initialize`? They both "initialize" a single fixture, and in fact `Fixture.initialize`
