RESTful Authentication Plug Tests

Rails
1

Hi all,

Is there a dependency for the RESTful Authentication plugin to make
the test cases pass? I get a number of errors on a brand new Rails
project with only the RESTful plugin installed. I’ve moved the bits
of code around as instructed after running the generator script for
the plugin.

Here’s an example:

  1. Error:
    test_should_create_user(UserTest):
    NoMethodError: undefined method assert_difference' for #<UserTest: 0x327b73c> /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/ action_controller/test_process.rb:452:inmethod_missing’
    ./test/unit/user_test.rb:7:in `test_should_create_user’

Apparently assert_difference/assert_no_difference is not included in
the Rails 1.2.3 framework.

It generates an authenticated test helper file that you can include in
your unit tests. It should be included for you in the test cases that
restful authentication generates:

Thank for you quick reply Rick, however, after further experimentation
I still get the same failures when running test. I’ve also searched
and dug through all the code I could find and nothing I see implements
the assert_difference and assert_no_difference methods. I have
included all the relevant test output here:

Oh, the plugin was updated for edge just a few days ago. You can just
use an old revision if you want.

I keep forgetting that a lot of development is going on against Edge -
this problem has tripped me up as well.

Please could you recommend a revision to use against 1.2.3 ?

Many thanks,

Kee

Hello, I’ve encountered the same problem as Robert. Is reverting back
to an old revision a short-term solution? And if so, does that mean
these two functions will be replaced with something else in the
future? Thanks.

They’re in edge rails.

I have worked around the problem by picking up the files
activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/test.rb and
activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/test/difference.rb
from edge rails and placing them in the version 1.2.3 rails
that I am using for my apps.

This workaround worked nicely for me.
