I apologise in advance that I’ve come into TDD late in the game and am now trying to catch up. I searched others posts to try and find the answer before creating this new post, with no success. I’m using the Aptana IDE with RadRails Plugin, all in the Eclipse framework. I just tried to clean out everything and do a clean re- install. I then did a \>Gem Update --System. Now, before any development…I want to run \>rake test and I want to get everything passing. ## Here’s the log I’m getting C:/ruby/bin/ruby -I"C:/workspace/Demos/lib" -I"C:/workspace/Demos/ test" “C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb” “test/unit/article\_test.rb” “test/unit/ comment\_test.rb” “test/unit/event\_test.rb” “test/unit/helpers/ articles\_helper\_test.rb” “test/unit/helpers/ comments\_controller\_helper\_test.rb” “test/unit/helpers/ comments\_helper\_test.rb” “test/unit/helpers/events\_helper\_test.rb” “test/unit/helpers/nifty\_scaffolds\_helper\_test.rb” C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': C:/workspace/Demos/app/models/photo.rb:6: syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting kEND (SyntaxError) :path => ":rails_root/public/assets/ photos/:id/:style/:basename.:extension" ^ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:31:in`require’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:155:in `require' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:262:in`require\_or\_load’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:221:in `depend_on' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:133:in`require\_dependency’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb: 368:in `load_application_classes' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb: 367:in`each’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb: 367:in `load_application_classes' ... 12 levels... from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake_test_loader.rb:5:in`load’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb:5 from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb:5:in `each' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake_test_loader.rb:5 C:/ruby/bin/ruby -I"C:/workspace/Demos/lib" -I"C:/workspace/Demos/ test" "C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake_test_loader.rb" "test/functional/articles_controller_test.rb" "test/functional/comments_controller_test.rb" "test/functional/ events_controller_test.rb" "test/functional/ photos_controller_test.rb" C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`gem\_original\_require’: C:/workspace/Demos/app/models/photo.rb:6: syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting kEND (SyntaxError) :path =\> “:rails\_root/public/assets/ photos/:id/:style/:basename.:extension” ^ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom\_require.rb:31:in `require' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:155:in`require’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:262:in `require_or_load' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:221:in`depend\_on’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:133:in `require_dependency' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb: 368:in`load\_application\_classes’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb: 367:in `each' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb: 367:in`load\_application\_classes’ … 12 levels… from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb:5:in `load' from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake_test_loader.rb:5 from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake_test_loader.rb:5:in`each’ from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb:5 C:/ruby/bin/ruby -I"C:/workspace/Demos/lib" -I"C:/workspace/Demos/ test" “C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb” Errors running test:units and test:functionals! > Any questions for next steps to clean up my environment? ---

Sounds like you have a syntax error in photo.rb, close to line 16. Fred ---

Did you read the error message or simply copy paste it for someone to do the work for you? ---

I am trying to read the error messages and understand them. Unfortunately, I’m trying to mostly teach myself with whatever good books I can come up with on the subject. All I really want to do is get to the original blank slate…with all tests passing, so I can start from there and know what new stuff is failing. I went out and cleared out a lot of the testing stuff, and now I’m down to the following errors: > rake test > (in C:/workspace/Demos) > C:/ruby/bin/ruby -I"C:/workspace/Demos/lib" -I"C:/workspace/Demos/ > test" “C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ > rake\_test\_loader.rb” > C:/ruby/bin/ruby -I"C:/workspace/Demos/lib" -I"C:/workspace/Demos/ > test" “C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ > rake\_test\_loader.rb” > C:/ruby/bin/ruby -I"C:/workspace/Demos/lib" -I"C:/workspace/Demos/ > test" “C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake/ > rake\_test\_loader.rb” Did I clear out too much? Should I re-install the Rake GEM? Thanks, Wayne On Apr 17, 10:28 am, Fernando P. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

It doesn’t appear to be running any tests though (maybe because you removed them all - not quite sure why you would do that.). Fred ---

Maybe this is just normal case now? I went out and individually ran test:units, test:functionals, test:plugins, test:integration and it looks like I always get the same response. Am I ready to start building? Thanks again, Wayne
