I have two unit tests that works fine if I run them individually.
ex: ruby test/unit/company_test.rb
Loaded suite test/unit/company_test
Started
...
Finished in 0.037888 seconds.
3 tests, 7 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
However, if I run 'rake test:units' the same test as above fails with:
1) Failure:
test_state(CompanyTest) [./test/unit/company_test.rb:26]:
<false> is not true.
My test is:
def test_state
# ....
company = companies(:test_company)
assert company.valid?
end
Why would it work from ruby and not rake? I have one other test that
fails the same way.
Check what fixtures are being included in the tests. I’ve run into a lot of the same problems as this, and it’s always been that I wasn’t including a fixture properly.
Thanks. The issue seemed to be with one of the validations. I was
validating against a table of states using the two letter state abbr.
as a FK. When I took that validation out, the test worked in both
instances. In both cases, I loaded the fixture containing all the
state data. Feels to me like there might be a bug lurking in here
somewhere because the test should have worked in both cases.
