Question

This is how my user_test.rb and users.yml tabs look like. At least the parts that are relevant for this problem.
user_test.rb
test "A user should have a unique profile name" do
            user = User.new
        user.profilename = users(:Edgar).profilename
        assert !user.save
        assert !user.errors[:profile_name].empty?
    end
users.yml
Edgar: 
  firstname: "Edgar"
  lastname: "Gutierrez"
  email: "edgar.gutierrez.gzz@gmail.com"
  profile_name: "EdgarGtz"
And here is the error message I'm getting. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Rack::File headers parameter replaces cache_control after Rack 1.5.

Looks like it might be that you capitalized the first fixture name "Edgar:" in users.yml and it's looking for lowercase:
No fixture with name 'edgar'

I just tried it and it worked! Thanks a lot Steve!
