Last section of the social features with ruby tutorial - Getting Failure

Hey, I'm getting an error while testing the user_test.rb file in the video "Displaying Correct Statuses"

It has one failure with the message 

Failure:
test: #has_blocked? should return true if a user has blocked another user. (UserTest) [test/unit/user_test.rb:75]:
Failed assertion, no message given.

19 tests, 25 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

Does anyone know where I went wrong? Thanks

What is your test code?

Here is my User Model (user.rb)

def has_blocked?(other_user)
  blocked_friends.include?(other_user)
end

Here is my User Test (user_test.rb)

context "#has_blocked?" do
  should "return true if a user has blocked another user" do
    assert users(:justin).has_blocked?(users(:blocked_friend))
  end

  should "return false if a user has not blocked another user" do
    assert !users(:justin).has_blocked?(users(:zach))
  end
end

And you have 

should have_many :blocked_friends

at the top of user_test.rb

And you have blocked_friend in your user.yml file? Make sure you don't do any tabbing there. YML files only like spaces.

I finally figured out the error. In the User model in the has_many :blocked_friends....I still had one of them saying pending_user_friendships where I had copied the code from the above 'has_many'. Thanks for your help Brandon.

I made this same mistake too when copying and pasting code. Glad you figured it out!

Here is the line at the top of the user_test.rb

should have_many(:blocked_friends)

and yes unfortunately the spacing is correct (I say unfort. because that would be an easy fix and I could keep on with the videos)

And here is the users fixture..of course the fourth & last user 

blocked_friend:
  first_name: "Blocked"
  last_name: "Friend"
  email: "blocked@teamtreehouse.com"
  profile_name: "youblockedme"

And finally here is the User_friendships fixture 

one:
  user: justin
  friend: zach

blocked_by_justin: 
  user: justin
  friend: blocked_friend
  state: 'blocked'
