Keep getting a failure on a specific test where I am testing the Unique Profile Name. Keep getting the following error:
UserTest#test_a_user_should_have_a_unique_profile_name [test/models/user_test.rb:33]:
Failed assertion, no message given.
My test looks like this: test "a user should have a unique profile name" do user = User.new user.profile_name = "jordansaxe" user.email = "email here" user.first_name = "Jordan" user.last_name = "Saxe" user.password = "password" user.password_confirmation = "password" assert !user.save puts user.errors.inspect assert !user.errors[:profile_name].empty?
The test says its failing on "assert !user.save".

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Jordan Saxe do you have a users fixture with the "jordansaxe" profile name already? If not, that could be the issue.

4,713 PointsHi Jason,
I do. My users.yml has: jordan: first_name: "Jordan" last_name: "Saxe" email: "email here" profile_name: "jordansaxe"

Treehouse Guest TeacherFor the moment, try taking out the assert !user.save and change it to "user.save". Then can you paste the errors that it outputs from the next line?

4,713 PointsI am getting the following:
6) Error: UserTest#test_a_user_should_have_a_unique_profile_name: NoMethodError: undefined method `env' for nil:NilClass
In fact, I am getting that error for all of the tests (first name, last name, profile name, formatted profile name, profile name without spaces and unique profile name).
I am using Ruby 2 and Rails 4
