Question

I have this very weird issue that I cant really get why it’s not working.

This is the test that I’m running to test post comments

https://gist.github.com/2794100

now I added 2 extra tests there to get an idea as to why it wasnt working the “user should exist” and “post should exist” to try and understand what’s going on, all I gathered is that the user is not creating.
Which is weird cause when I run this other test everything works fine

https://gist.github.com/2794105

the user creation is a copy and paste, seeing as I have the email as a unique key I even tried running the test by itself without any other tests to make sure there was no conflict and I also tried running it with a fresh made database.

if I run each command on the rails console everything works, it’s just on the test itself that it doesnt work

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Your test is full of lines like:

before { @post.title == "Example Post"}

It’s just a comparison, not an assignment. This doesn’t make any sense!

You always refer to implicit subject (it { should ...), which in your case is a new instance of PostComment. You should specify what exactly are you testing, like:

subject { @foo }

Or just explicitly name it:

it 'should be valid even if something is nil' do
  before { @foo.name = nil }
  @foo.should be_valid
end
