Mysterious StackError with habtm on destroy

Rails Engines Development
1

Hi

I am getting a kind of mysterious error when deleting a group in my
unit tests. I get this error when calling the “destroy” action in my
controller, so the only different thing is that it is called from a
unit test instead of running in Webrick.

I am calling Group.find(params[:id]).destroy in my controller. Group
has_and_belongs_to_many User and Role objects. The same code does not
give errors when running as a component but it does when running as
an Engine. Thus, I suspect something is breaking along the way.

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?

Regards,

Manuel

Never mind. I solved this by making sure that my User model file was
only included once. I tried to run the same tests as a component
would require and did not read the documentation of Engines before.
