Test units now loading

Hi

Im getting this error when running a simple unit test from the book im learning. I have even copy pasted the code and am not sure why this is not working

the error is   1) Error: test_read_with_fixture_variable(ProductTest): RuntimeError: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id     product_test.rb:63:in `test_read_with_fixture_variable'

My YAML file is version_control_book:   id: 1   title: Pragmatic Version Control   description: How to use version control   image_url: http://…/sk_svn_small.jpg   price: 29.95   date_available: 2005-01-26 00:00:00

My test unit is

class ProductTest < Test::Unit::TestCase   fixtures :products

  def setup     @product = Product.find(1)   end

def test_read_with_fixture_variable     assert_kind_of Product, @product     assert_equal @version_control_book.id, @product.id     assert_equal @version_control_book.title, @product.title     assert_equal @version_control_book.description, @product.description     assert_equal @version_control_book.image_url, @product.image_url     assert_equal @version_control_book.price, @product.price     assert_equal @version_control_book.date_available, @product.date_available   end end

Ive checked the value of @product.id and it seems its correctly getting extracted from the database but im not sure why the instance variable @version_control_book is not getting loaded.

Thanks heaps

EXCELLENT! It worked :slight_smile:
