I'm gonna take a stab at this and say it's because you're not posting a name parameter to the create action. Therefor, the create action is trying to create a new Brand w/out a name. Since you're using the friendly_id gem and configuring the Brand model to use its "name" field as the friendly id, you must provide a name else you get FriendlyId::BlankError. > Here's the fixture: > > one: > name: MyString > image_file_name: MyString > image_content_type: MyString > image_file_size: 1 > image_updated_at: 2011-08-03 10:49:03 > tease: MyText > description: MyText > Doesn't really matter what you have in your fixtures since you're simulating a request that results in a call to your #create action in your controller which will create a new (blank) Brand record. > All other tests pass, and if I comment out has_friendly_id, the create > tests pass as well.
