user_test unexpected error message

A more readable code :

class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

test "a user should enter a first name"

    user = User.new

    assert !user.save

    assert !user.errors[:first_name].empty?

end

test "a user should enter a last name"

    user = User.new

    assert !user.save

    assert !user.errors[:last_name].empty?

end                                                   <----- this is line 13

test "a user should enter a profile name"

    user = User.new

    assert !user.save

    assert !user.errors[:profile_name].empty?

end

test "a user should have a unique profile name"

    user = User.new

    user.profile_name = users(:pierre).profile_name

    assert !user.save

    assert !user.errors[:profile_name].empty?

end

end

Hi Pierre, your test methods need a "do" keyword after them on the end of the line. So the following:

test "a user should have a unique profile name"

Should be:

test "a user should have a unique profile name" do

Hope that helps!

Ooooooooops !! thx Jason that did it :D Well I went through the whole user_test tut in order to test everything and now I get 5 errors (but no failure) :

1) Error: test_a_user_should_enter_a_first_name(UserTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: table users has no column named password: INSERT INTO "users" ("first_name", "last_name", "profile_name", "email", "password", "password_confirmation", "created_at", "updated_at", "id") VALUES ('pierre', 'choffe', 'pierrechoffe', 'pc@xyz.com', 'password', 'password', '2013-02-19 22:21:36', '2013-02-19 22:21:36', 362712307)

2) Error: test_a_user_should_enter_a_last_name(UserTest):

3) Error: test_a_user_should_enter_a_profile_name(UserTest):

4) Error: test_a_user_should_have_a_profile_name_without_space(UserTest):

5) Error: test_a_user_should_have_a_unique_profile_name(UserTest):

The users.yml file has :

pierre: first_name: "pierre" last_name: "choffe" profile_name: "pierrechoffe" email: "pc@xyz.com" password: "password" password_confirmation: "password"

so i don't see what is wrong...

One last thing : when logging in on rails server, i don't understand what the profile name message means : what is wrong in the profile name format "pierre" ?

thanxxxx !! Pierre

Yeah I'm running into a test problem my self the output is 1) Failure: test_a_user_should_have_a_profile_na test.rb:34]: Failed assertion, no message given.

Can't find the flaw

(user._test.rb) line 34 assert user.errors[:profile_name].include?("Must be formatted correctly.")

(user.rb) validates :profile_name, presence: true, uniqueness: true, format: { with: /a-zA-Z0-9_-/, message: 'Must be formatted properly.' }

This is the validating format video, let me know if I'm missing something, thanks.

I am now at the testing-the-whole-app/integration-tests I keep getting this error message (which is similar to the ones referred to in my previous message) when typing ruby -Itest test/integration/custom_routes_test.rb

1) Error: test_that_/_login_route_opens_the_login_page(CustomRoutesTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: table users has no column named password: INSERT INTO "users" ("first_name", "last_name", "profile_name", "email", "password", "password_confirmation", "created_at", "updated_at", "id") VALUES ('pierre', 'choffe', 'pierrechoffe', 'pc@xyz.com', 'password', 'password', '2013-02-20 13:19:57', '2013-02-20 13:19:57', 362712307)

so I assume there is one common source to this series of error message, any idea ?

Thanks !!

OK, pb #784 solved, apparently had to fix some additional information I had passed in users.yml also corrected a syntax error in user_test.rb : i had includes? instead of include? Alright, heading to pb #785 ! :)

I get stuck in a new pb now in the "Testing the Profile Name" section.

When i type "ruby -Itest test/unit/user_test.rb" to test the profile name, I get the following message (2 failures) :

1) Failure: test_a_user_can_have_a_correctly_formatted_profile_name(UserTest) [test/unit/user_test.rb:45]: Failed assertion, no message given.

2) Failure: test_a_user_should_have_a_profile_name_without_spaces(UserTest) [test/unit/user_test.rb:37]: Failed assertion, no message given.

6 tests, 12 assertions, 2 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

I could not see any flaw in my code, so I used Jason's code in Project Files, copying user_test.rb and user.rb, which are the two modified files in the video. After replacing the necessary details (name, etc.), I get exactly the same message.

What is wrong ? Thx, Pierre

Allen, I'm having the same problem as you. Have you figured it out? Or has anyone figure it out? I found another discussion about Allen and my problem if anyone could figure it out that would be great. My problem is just like Cassidy's on this forum (https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/writing-tests-validating-format)

I think I'm getting a similar problem to you guys, I'm running the integration tests in the "testing the whole app" and getting pages of 'detail'. The errors seem to be:

1) Error: test_that_/login_route_opens_the_login_page(CustomRoutesTest):
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: table statuses has no col
umn named name: INSERT INTO "statuses" ("name", "content", "created_at", "update
d_at", "id") VALUES ('MyString', 'MyText', '2013-04-15 05:03:32', '2013-04-15 05
:03:32', 980190962)

2) Error: test_that_/logout_route_opens_the_logout_page(CustomRoutesTest):
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: table statuses has no col
umn named name: INSERT INTO "statuses" ("name", "content", "created_at", "update

:03:32', 980190962)

3) Error: test_that_/register_route_opens_the_logout_page(CustomRoutesTest):
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: table statuses has no col
umn named name: INSERT INTO "statuses" ("name", "content", "created_at", "update

:03:32', 980190962)

I really don't know where I should check or what code to post.

Hey Thomas, try opening up your test/fixtures/statuses.yml file and remove the "name" line from each status.

Ah thank you! Now I tried this and it didn't work - but then I cleared out the user.yml entirely and now my tests work. Much obliged!

had a similar issue. used a diff profile_name & email address in user_test.rb and it worked.
