1,281 PointsHey, this is my status.controller_test.rb file:
require 'test_helper'
class StatusesControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase setup do @status = statuses(:one) end
test "should get index" do get :index assert_response :success assert_not_nil assigns(:statuses) end
test "should get new" do get :new assert_response :redirect assert_redirected_to new_user_session_path end
test "should create status" do assert_difference('Status.count') do post :create, status: { content: @status.content } end
assert_redirected_to status_path(assigns(:status))
end
test "should show status" do get :show, id: @status assert_response :success end
test "should get edit" do get :edit, id: @status assert_response :success end
test "should update status" do put :update, id: @status, status: { content: @status.content } assert_redirected_to status_path(assigns(:status)) end
test "should destroy status" do assert_difference('Status.count', -1) do delete :destroy, id: @status end
assert_redirected_to statuses_path
end end

22,905 PointsI was having this problem too. I had forgotten that in a previous lesson we put this in the users.yml file:
jason:
first_name: "Jason"
last_name: "Seifer"
email: "jason@teamtreehouse.com"
profile_name: "jasonseifer"
So because of that I had to use the name "jason" in the statuses.yml file, just like the video said:
one:
content: MyText
user: jason
two:
content: MyText
user: jason
