Hi, I'm having a problem with the "Writing Tests" section of "Build a Simple Ruby on Rails App". Right now I'm stuck on the fixtures. I have tried to narrow it down and fixing it myself before asking for help. I hope the code below and my explanation is enough. Basically I don't know if it's the intention of my YAML or using “validates :profile_name, uniqueness: true” in Ruby 1.9.

=== The Problem ============== If I make a fixture “brad:” it errors out like in the video example. When I append uniqueness to “validates :profile_name” line the errors are still there. I dug around and found validates_unquieness_of and that doesn't fix the problem either. I continued ahead a bit and referred to my fixture object in the user_test.rb file and it doesn't error to the point that it doesn't know what that object is, but the same errors come up when running "ruby -Itest test/unit/user_test.rb" which makes me believe the YAML is formatted correctly. So at this point I have no clue what’s going wrong. I added the versions of my Ruby and Rails below incase it might be helpful.

EDIT: I have the fix

As of right now if you follow the videos you will always get an error after Jason appends the "uniqueness, true" to the "validates :profile_name, presence: true" line. The same 4 errors will pop up using "ruby -Itest test/unit/user_test.rb" but once you remove the password lines from the user fixture it will work out. I believe this is a bug with the newer Devise. Also to check the duplication of a profile name, I don't see the logic behind checking the password to see if the profile names match up.

validates :profile_name, presence: true, uniqueness: true

I dug around the net and found this and it still doesn't work

validates_uniqueness_of :profile_name
