When I use script/generate to make a behavior, the default test fails right out of the box. It doesn’t seem to like the use of ‘behavior\_id’ on Page, and I don’t really understand why. I’m working off of the svn trunk, with revision 87. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? Is it only me? I’ve made some changes to my istallation, but none that I would expect could affect something like this.

It turns out that none of my tests are working. I thought maybe it was a database connection issue, but everything looks fine in that area. James ---

Thanks, that was the problem. Silly me. The schema was there, but I didn’t notice that it was only at version 1. I don’t know why it was like that. James
