Using rake, my tests all passed. And using autotest they all passed, until I implemented this test: def test\_vote count = Item.find(1).vote\_count ``` get :vote, :id=>1, :vote=>5 @item = Item.find(1) assert_equal @item.vote_count, count+1 assert_equal @item.vote_average, 5 assert_equal @item.vote_total, 1 assert_redirected_to item_url(:action=>:show, :id=>1) ``` end Now, autotest displays this: multiple files matched class ItemsControllerTest [“test/functional/members/items\_controller\_test.rb”, “test/functional/items\_controller\_test.rb”, “test/functional/admin/items\_controller\_test.rb”]. /opt/local/bin/ruby -I.:lib:test -rtest/unit -e “%w[test/functional/items\_controller\_test.rb].each { |f| load f }” | unit\_diff -u Loaded suite -e Started …F Finished in 1.239178 seconds. 1.

Via rake test:functionals? Many times that turns up weird test failures like that for me… - Rob ---

It is the best thing to do. The author sees it and it is persistent so the author can track it, prioritize, plan, track, and communicate back to the original finder for more information. The most important part is that first part: “the author sees it”. Ruby-talk is a general ruby discussion mailing list. It is NOT read by everyone and it certainly gives no guarantee that any problem you find and discuss will ever be resolved. This mailing list has been averaging just under 1200 email / week for the last 6 months and it is continuously rising. It just isn’t a good place for this type of email. Everything you install via ‘sudo gem install’ or the like is nearly guaranteed to have a bug tracker on rubyforge. Use it. ---

Yeah, I was using 3.3 – now I’m using 3.4. These messages seem to only get printed when tests fail. Joe ---

And yet… You haven’t filed a bug or contributed any data to any extant bugs, have you?
