Treebook adding friendships

I am going through testing friendships using shoulda tutorial link: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/building-social-features-in-ruby-on-rails/creating-friendships/testing-friendships

My test fails giving me this error

  1) Failure:
test: UserFriendship should belong to friend. (UserFriendshipTest) [C:/RailsInst
aller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/shoulda-context-1.1.5/lib/shoulda/conte
xt/context.rb:339]:
Expected UserFriendship to have a belongs_to association called friend (UserFrie
ndship does not have a friend_id foreign key.)

  2) Failure:
test: UserFriendship should belong to user. (UserFriendshipTest) [C:/RailsInstal
ler/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/shoulda-context-1.1.5/lib/shoulda/context
/context.rb:339]:
Expected UserFriendship to have a belongs_to association called user (UserFriend
ship does not have a user_id foreign key.)

I have tried both the suggested methods in other discussion threads 1) Adding following in gem file

group :test do
  gem 'shoulda'
  gem 'shoulda-matchers'
  gem 'shoulda-context'
end

2) Adding following in test_helper.rb

include Shoulda::Matchers::ActiveRecord
extend Shoulda::Matchers::ActiveRecord
include Shoulda::Matchers::ActiveModel
extend Shoulda::Matchers::ActiveModel

I am still having the error mentioned above. My user_friendship_test looks like

require 'test_helper'

class UserFriendshipTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
  should belong_to(:user)
  should belong_to(:friend)
end

and user_friendship.rb

class UserFriendship < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :friend
end

Any help will be appreciated.
