similar to: First unit test fails

I have unit tests set up with "self.use_transactional_fixtures = true", so each test should roll back. Run individually, all my tests succeed. But running "rake test:units", I get the below error in 5 test cases. I''m not sure how to solve this since I''m not sure how to debug tasks run thru rake. Any ideas are appreciated. 1) Error: test_delete(OrderTest):

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

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

I developped a web site with Ruby on Rails, but I get a problem during the testing. I have a parent table called "orders" and a child table called "line_items". I created some data for the test in the files "test/fixtures/orders.yml" and "test/fixtures/line_items.yml". In the file "test/unit/order_test.rb" I wrote some code to test the

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.

hi all, trying my first foray into testing and having trouble with accessing the fixture instance variable built a test for my NewsRelease model. have a news_releases.yml as a fixture with: first: id: 1 title: my first release body: this is still my first test of a news release publish: 0 date_publication: 2006-06-06 17:28:00 in news_release_test.rb, i have def setup

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

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:

I''m following Agile Edition 1. On page 148 it suggests using instance variables named after the fixture, for example: assert_equal @version_control_book.id, @product.id When I introduce this type of instance variable into my test, I get the following error: 1) Error: test_not_owner(GroupTest): RuntimeError: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the

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

Help! I have a new/create process that works fine in the actual app. But when I test I always get a failure in the test_create section.

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, I want to add the basic model record create tests for my rails app as in the "Agile Web Development with Rails" example: i.e. (header stuff and boring repitition missed) def test_create assert_kind_of Requirement, requirements(:requirement_1) assert_equal <at>requirements["requirement_1"]["name"], requirements(:requirement_1).name end Now I''m

I have a problem with tests. I always thought that the order of tests doesn''t matter because the fixtures are reloaded before every test method. However, I''ve just discovered that this isn''t true. This is a quote from the "Guide to testing the rails" howto: "... if we had another test method, we wouldn’t have 10 users on the 2nd test because they would

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)
