Errors while testing a Rails application

Hello.

I'm new to RoR and I'm trying to test my app.

In my sample app, I have in user_test.rb:

require 'test_helper'

class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase     def test_truth         assert true     end end

The error I'm getting is:

Z:\web\rails\pbbg\test>ruby unit/user_test.rb c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/active_support/ dependenci es.rb:105:in `const_missing': uninitialized constant Test::Unit::TestResult::Tes tResultFailureSupport (NameError)         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.3/lib/test/ unit/testre sult.rb:28         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 31:in `ge m_original_require'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 31:in `re quire'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/ active_suppo rt/dependencies.rb:158:in `require'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.3/lib/test/ unit/ui/tes trunnermediator.rb:9         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 31:in `ge m_original_require'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 31:in `re quire'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/ active_suppo rt/dependencies.rb:158:in `require'          ... 6 levels...         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/autorunner.rb:214:in `run'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/autorunner.rb:12:in `run'         from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit.rb:278         from unit/user_test.rb:3

I can't find what I've done wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Is rails getting confused because you've got a test/unit gem that is being used instead of the older version that is part of ruby 1.8 ?

I don't know. How do I check this?

You could try uninstalling that gem.
