Question

I am using Ruby on Rails 3.0.10, RSpec 2 and FactoryGirl. I am trying to validate user account data.

In my model I have:

class Users::Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  ...

  def get_account_password_salt(password)
    make_user_account_password_salt(password)
  end
end

In my spec file I have

it "should have a valid password salt" do
  users_account.password_salt.should == Users::Account.get_account_password_salt('123456')
end

When I run the rspec command I get the following error:

Users::Account should have a valid password salt
Failure/Error: users_account.password_salt.should == Users::Account.get_account_password_salt('123456')
NoMethodError:
  undefined method `get_account_password_salt' for #<Class:0x0000010729c9f0>

What is the problem and how can I solve that?

I also tryed to use ::Users::Account.get_account_password_salt('123456') (note the :: at the beginning) but it still doesn’t work.

Answer 1

SOLUTION

The problem was that I have to run

users_account.get_account_password_salt('123456')

instead of:

Users::Account.get_account_password_salt('123456')
