    text
    copied!<p>So, I'm trying to learn the rspec BDD testing framework in the context of a rails project. The problem I'm having is that I can't, for the life of me, get my fixtures to load properly in rspec descriptions.</p> <p>Disclaimer: Yes, there are better things than fixtures to use. I'm trying to learn one thing at a time, here (specifically rspec) before I go play with associated tools like factory-girl, mocha, auto-test, etc. As such, I'm trying to get the dead-simple, if clunky, fixtures working.</p> <p>Anyway, here's the code:</p> <p>/test/fixtures/users.yml - </p> <pre><code># password: "secret" foo: username: foo email: foo@example.com password_hash: 3488f5f7efecab14b91eb96169e5e1ee518a569f password_salt: bef65e058905c379436d80d1a32e7374b139e7b0 bar: username: bar email: bar@example.com password_hash: 3488f5f7efecab14b91eb96169e5e1ee518a569f password_salt: bef65e058905c379436d80d1a32e7374b139e7b0 </code></pre> <p>/spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb - </p> <pre><code>require 'spec/spec_helper' describe PagesController do integrate_views fixtures :users it "should render index template on index call when logged in" do session[:user_id] = user(:foo).id get 'index' response.should render_template('index') end end </code></pre> <p>And what I'm getting when I run 'rake spec' is:</p> <pre><code>NoMethodError in 'PagesController should render index template on index call when logged in' undefined method `user' for #&lt;Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x2405a7c&gt; /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb:511:in `method_missing' ./spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb:7: </code></pre> <p>That is, it's not recognizing 'user(:foo)' as a valid method.</p> <p>The fixtures themselves must be ok, since when I load them into the development db via 'rake db:fixtures:load', I can verify that foo and bar are present in that db.</p> <p>I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but I've been tearing my hair out all day to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
