Rake test_units not loading any fixtures

Rails
1

Hello All,

If I run my unit tests individually using Ruby, they all work correctly.

However, if I try to run them using “rake test_units”, I get a bunch of
error messages.

The error messages appear to be caused by rake not loading any of the
fixtures into the test database.

I am using PostgreSQL on Windows.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Bruce.

Bruce,

Can you post the text of the error messages? I’ve seen something
before, but I’d like to see what the actual output of your errors is.

Derek,

I’m using Postgres on Os X and get the same error. Seemingly an
upgrade from 0.14.2 (or so) to 1.0 broke unit testing for me.

The relevant output from Rake:

I have setup the test database with the “postgres” user which has all
permissions on my whole Postgres database server setup.

I’m a bit baffled by these errors…

I ran into the same problem and fixed it, by forcing “createdb” to
use template0… See my post http://blog.invisible.ch/2006/01/08/ruby-

for this and some other fun with PostrgeSQL schematas
