Okay, I verified that I am running the tests with the engines task
test:plugins:units (I inserted a puts statement in
/vendor/plugins/engines/tasks/engines.rake and it was outputted).
I then have two files in /vendor/plugins/tandem/test/unit/: page_test.rb and
user_test.rb
Both of these files are structured like:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
#some test methods
end
I have verified that /vendor/plugins/tandem/test/test_helper.rb is getting
called by placing puts $LOAD_PATH at the very top of the file.
It outputs:
lib
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.5.2
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.5.2
.
Below the $LOAD_PATH put, my test_helper.rb has:
#ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
#require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")
require 'test/unit'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../lib/authenticated_test_helper'
include AuthenticatedTestHelper
The top two lines are commented out because if they aren't, then I get the
error:
./vendor/plugins/tandem/test/unit/../test_helper.rb:5:in `require': no such
file to load --
/Users/treybean/Sites/project/vendor/plugins/tandem/config/environment

/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5

Command failed with status (1): [/usr/local/bin/ruby -Ilib
"/usr/local/lib/...]
And if I put Engines::Testing.set_fixture_path on line 2 (just below the
LOAD_PATH line), I get this error:
./vendor/plugins/tandem/test/unit/../test_helper.rb:2: uninitialized
constant Engines (NameError)

/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5
rake aborted!

"/usr/local/lib/...]
Man, I feel like I'm so close, but either Rails or Engines (more likely
both) isn't being initialized prior to the tests. Maybe the line
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")
needs to be modified to actually point at the config/environment in the main
application, rather than looking for it in my engine?
Does this shed any light on what might be going on here?
Thanks for you help on this. I am so excited to get this last piece in
place. It looks like you've done some great work here.

The provided rake tasks will call
Engines::Testing.setup_plugin_fixtures, but you need to call
Engines::Testing.set_fixture_path yourself in your tests to redirect
Test::Unit to the new temporary fixture directory.
However, more troubling is the fact that your code doesn't find the
engines plugin. Are you running the tests with the supplied rake
tasks, or manually (i.e. ruby /path/to/my/test.rb)?

I believe a change in the way that Rails works means that some classes
aren't automagically loaded when they are referenced. Lib directories
are certainly available in the load path (you can check this yourself
by puts-ing $LOAD_PATH at the top of your tests), so a simple "require
'file'" should be sufficient. Again - this seems like it might be
related to your not being able to reference the Engines module.

If your tests require the Rails environment to be loaded, yes.
Actually, this might relate to a possible source of problems - you
won't be able to work with any of the engines functionality until you
load the rails environment (and so all the plugins) - are you trying
to reference anything within any plugins before these lines?
Does any of the above help?
