NoMethodError: undefined method while running test

Rails
1

I run the command: ruby test/unit/user_test.rb

I get the error:
NoMethodError: undefined method authenticate' for #<Class:0x193dd20> C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-2.3.5/lib/active_record/base .rb:1959:inmethod_missing’
test/unit/user_test.rb:13:in `test_auth’
The authenticate method is defined in

This is denition of authenticate method in modes/user.rb
class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

Replace this with your real tests.

test “the truth” do

assert true

self.use_instantiated_fixtures = true
fixtures :users
def self.authenticate(login, pass)
u=find(:first, :conditions=>[“login = ?”, login])
return nil if u.nil?
return u if User.encrypt(pass, u.salt)==u.hashed_password
nil
end

This is where it is called from user_test.rb
def test_auth
assert_equal @bob, User.authenticate(“rao”, “test”)
end

username rao is already defined in users.yml

Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Sorry, there was a mistake in my posting. The correction to user_test.rb
def test_auth
assert_equal @rao, User.authenticate(“rao”, “test”)
end
where user rao has been defined in users.yml

I get this error NoMethodError: undefined method `authenticate’
When the method ‘authenticate’ is already defined. Why is it unable to
find the method?

I didn’t understand what Colin L. explained.

I am new to ruby on rails and would like some help on this issue.

my error message is
test/unit/user_test.rb:4: undefined method `use_instantiated_fixtures=’
for UserTest:Class (NoMethodError)

class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

Replace this with your real tests.

test “the truth” do

assert true

self.use_instantiated_fixtures = true
fixtures :users
def self.authenticate(login, pass)

You have this inside class UserTest instead of User
