Write a Test -> Fixtures -> Error

Hey James, try taking out the "password" and "password_confirmation" lines in the users.yml file?

I'm doing the Ruby project, but haven't done a fixtures module, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that the indentation may be wrong in your users.yml file. Use two spaces instead of a tab and see if that makes a difference. yml files are sensitive to indenting I believe :)

I initially had tabs but read it could cause this problem. I have checked my spacing and indentation in all of these files. I took out the spaces on the yml file and dropped it to just one space and am still getting the same errors. I got a feeling I have something out of syntax but it all looks correct to me.

.yml requires 2 spaces for model attributes

also when in doubt try:

rake db:create:all

rake db:migrate

and if you're testing:

rake db:test:prepare

I'm testing. Had already tried to rebuild the db. But went ahead and did

rake db:test:prepare

and still getting the same errors. I guess I will go back through the transcripts today to see if I missed a step.

Hey Jason, Merry Christmas.

I took these out and was able to get the tests to pass.

I think the reason is because the database encrypts the passwords and the schema shows encrypted password and not password. If I use encrypted_password it works.

That's correct, James!

Hi James,

What way did you use encrypted_password?

I actually don't remember. Once I fixed this I came about a few other errors. I decided I would start over on the whole Ruby segment and tackle this while completing the developer adventure.
