Hello, I am a rails beginner and am having some trouble running the unit tests using rake. i am following the example in the simply rails 2 book.
I have a simple model with one field "name" and a validation for name that it cannot be empty my test file looks like this 1. require 'test_helper' 2. 3. class LadderTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase 4. 5. def test_create_ladder_name_error 6. l = Ladder.create(:name => nil) 7. assert l.error.on(:name) 8. end 9. 10. end When I run rake test:units from the shell I get the following error rake aborted! You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[] I am running rails version 2.2.2 Does anyone know whats wrong? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
