hi all,
my first attempt at tests and i’m having trouble accessing the
fixture values, if anyone can make it suggestions.
i have news_release_test.rb, using new_releases.yml as the fixture file
according to the agile book, i should be able to access the fixture
properties within my test as such:
assert_equal @first_test.id , @news_release.id
unfortunately, i try that and get:
“test_create(NewsReleaseTest):
RuntimeError: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 – if
you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id”
after looking on api.rubyonrails.com, i saw and tried this:
@news_releases[“first_test”][“id”]
and now i get the following error:
“NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.[]”
thanks in advance,
–
All the best,
Matthew Collins
