Question

I’ve been doing a major refactor that required several migrations. All of a sudden, rspec is failing.

Could not find table 'users' (ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid)

The users table is right there in schema.rb:

  create_table "users", :primary_key => "user_id", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "first_name",          :limit => 100,                                    :null => false
    t.string   "last_name",           :limit => 100,                                    :null => false
    (...)
    t.boolean  "current_student",                    :default => true,                  :null => false
    t.boolean  "unregistered",                       :default => false,                 :null => false
  end

Here’s what I’ve tried:

• rake db:test:prepare: No change
• removing schema.rb and recreating it with rake db:schema:dump: No change

My app is working fine – I can create users, log in, log out, etcetera. But none of my tests work. What should I try next?

Found the issue.

In one of my models, I had a scope written thus:

scope :registered, where(:registered => true)

Deep in the stack trace, there was actually a reference to this line. I changed the scope to:

scope :registered, :conditions => {:registered => true}

…and everything worked. Whew.
