When I run unit tests with a syntax error in one of my models (in this case, it was an unterminated quote), I get this error, which suggests to me that whatever code is autoloading the model while it''s loading my fixtures is masking the error (I don''t get any notification of the syntax error, here, nor in the log).

Functional tests properly load fixtures, but my integration test chokes: # def self.create_fixtures(fixtures_directory, table_names, class_names = {}) # puts("fixtures dir: "+(fixtures_directory.nil? ? "nil" : fixtures_directory)) It''s only nil for my integration tests. I''m on rails edge. Does anyone know what I''m doing wrong here? 1) Error:

I''m finally getting beyond using basic test fixtures, and a few questions have popped up. Has anyone found ways to do these? 1. Use a test fixture that is named differently from its table name? We''d like to have more than one possible fixture per table. (Or perhaps use test fixtures named similarly but in different directories.) 2. Load a test fixture for one test method only

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

hello all, i have a problem with test_truth. require ''test_helper'' class MyDataTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase def test_truth assert true end end this should ok without failures or errors. but it failure: 1) Error: test_truth(MyDataTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Table ''alldataserver_test.members'' doesn''t exist: DELETE

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):

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. Been programming (business apps) and designing/building DBs for two decades - but new to both Ruby and Rails (so I apologise in advance if I''ve made some

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

This has been asked before, never well attended perhaps. Any thoughts on testing your workers? Current implementation is broken. An empty test case like this: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/lib/workers/market_summary_worker" require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/lib/backgroundrb.rb" require

My test are not resetting for each method in the test class. It was promised to me on page 146 of Agile Web Development on Rails that it would. Am I doing something wrong? The "@delete_victim = User.find(4)" bust the setup class each time it comes around, even though that is in my users.yml class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :users def setup

Hi, There seems to be an issue with SQLite adapter. Any idea what is causing it? document_test.rb contains default scaffold and works fine with MySQL but fails with SQLite. Other unit tests work fine with either DB. Sergei Serdyuk Red Leaf Software LLC http://www.redleafsoft.com document_test.rb: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class DocumentTest <

hello: I just installed rspec 1.1.3 by doing this: gem install rspec and then in the root of my project, I did this: ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/CURRENT/rspec_on_rails And now, when I run a unit test (that worked before the rspec installation), I''m getting the following errors: SQLException: near ''of'': syntax error: DELETE FROM

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)

I am trying to create unit tests for my users model but when I add a test that destroys a user, that user is not available in any of the other test. If I remove the test that destroys the user all my other tests work again. All the fixtures are suppose be reloaded between tests right? Here is my testcase : require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class UserTest

Hello All, If I run my unit tests individually using Ruby, they all work correctly. However, if I try to run them using "rake test_units", I get a bunch of error messages. The error messages appear to be caused by rake not loading any of the fixtures into the test database. I am using PostgreSQL on Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks, Bruce. -- Posted via

I am trying to write a ruby script which includes both the ''RubyfulSoup'' gem for HTML scouring, and the rails environment so I can access the database easily.

Hi. I have want to use the following arrangement: Model < CustomClass < ActiveRecord::Base My CustomClass has a bunch of code I want to be held in common to all my models. What happens however is that if I access a controller that uses Model, it works. Then on the second view (hitting reload) I always get: TypeError (superclass mismatch for class User):
