I can't figure out what is causing this problem. I'm using the
latest rspec
and rspec-rails gems on rails 2.3.2.
When I run autospec, the tests in the model spec that I am editing
will all
fail. The error messages are like this:
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in 'Job new record should create a new
record
given valid attributes'
Validation failed:
(Nothing after Validation Failed:, just blank). It doesn't matter what
attributes I pass to create the new model, and it doesn't matter if
I do it
using a regular create! method or using Machinist, the same error
happens.
Now, if I make a change, autospec will run the specs from that one
model
spec again, and they will all pass. Then it runs all of my specs
again and
that's when the specific spec I'm editing fails (only when it runs
all the
specs). When I run rake spec:models or rake spec:controllers,
everything
passes as it should. So I figured it might have something to do with
the
controller specs, and if I remove those, autospec passes again. Then
if I
put the controller specs back, autospec still passes. It only starts
failing
if I again edit the model specs.
This is happening in multiple models, not just one. It's making it
impossible to work with, so I'd really appreciate any thoughts you
might
have. Thank you!
Your problem is one of load order.
I'd suggest running the debugger at the start of your failing spec:
it "should ..." do
require 'rubygems'; require 'ruby-debug'; debugger
...
end
Run the specs in the failing case, and debug from there.
