Hi everyone I am new to Rails. My platform is Ubuntu 9.04 with Ruby 1.9.1p243 and Rails 2.3.4. I am reading SitePoint's Simply Rails 2 book. On page 240, the author shows how to test the associations between Story and Vote model.
The code is below app/models/story.rb: ---------------------------- class Story < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :link has_many :votes end app/models/vote.rb: ----------------------------- class Vote < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :story end test/fixtures/stories.yml: ------------------------------------ one: name: My Shiny Weblog link: http://www.google.com/ two: name: Another stupid site link: http://www.apple.com/ test/fixtures/votes.yml: ---------------------------------- one: story: one two: story: one test/unit/story_test.rb: -------------------------------- def test_should_have_a_votes_association assert_equal [ votes(:one), votes(:two) ], stories(:one).votes end $ rake test:units The output of assert return failure. So I do trial-and-error fix and manage to fix it by swap the position of votes(:one) and votes(:two) order so the test method become: assert_equal [ votes(:two), votes(:one) ], stories(:one).votes Can some Rails experts explain to me why the order of vote inside the array could affect the assert_equal measure?
