Hello –
Thanks in advance for putting up with a newbie question:)
I added two columns to my Products model. The db migration completed
without
error, I added the items to the views, and I tested the expected
behavior on
the site itself. The properties can be set, stored, and is displayed
later.
I also put some validation in the model, and the errors display
perfectly.
So everything is working just as I would expect.
Where I ran into trouble is when I ran the unit tests I have for the
products model. I’m getting errors that say the properties are an
“undefined
method”. Even for test cases that don’t refer to these properties, they
are
returning the same error. I assume this is from referencing the model.
Why
does everything work correctly on the site, but the test cases don’t
seem to
recognize the new properties I’ve added to the model?
Thanks!
Madison
