From what I have understood, the equal method checks if the object is the same.
person = Person.create!(:name => "David")
Person.find_by_name("David").should equal(person)
This should be true.
But aren’t there two different objects here?
How could two objects be the same? I don’t understand that.
equalchecks if the reference is the same. It corresponds to theObject#equal?method. You want to use==to compare these objects.
