    text
    copied!<p>I've just started using rails, and decided to follow the "<em>Ruby on Rails Tutorial</em>" by M. Hartl. Seems like a good intro.</p> <p><strong>Am running into a failed test</strong> that's driving me nuts. I am running <strong>rails 3.1.1</strong>, with <strong>rspec 2.7.0</strong></p> <p>I have tried modifying the condition, and tests on the "has_password" method work.</p> <p>The failing test:</p> <pre> 1) User password encryption authenticate method should return the user on email/password match Failure/Error: matching_user.should == @user expected: # got: nil (using ==) # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:149:in `block (4 levels) in ' </pre> <p>The rspec test:</p> <pre><code>describe User do before(:each) do @attr = {:name =&gt; 'testing', :email =&gt;'testing@example.com', :password =&gt; "testtest", :password_confirmation =&gt; "testtest"} end ... describe "password encryption" do before(:each) do @user = User.create!(@attr) end ... describe "authenticate method" do it "should exist" do User.should respond_to(:authenticate) end it "should return nil on email/password mismatch" do User.authenticate(@attr[:email], "wrongpass").should be_nil end it "should return nil for an email address with no user" do User.authenticate("bar@foo.com", @attr[:password]).should be_nil end it "should return the user on email/password match" do matching_user = User.authenticate(@attr[:email], @attr[:password]) matching_user.should == @user end end </code></pre> <p>In the User model:</p> <pre><code>... def has_password?(submitted_password) encrypt_password == encrypt(submitted_password) end def self.authenticate(email, submitted_password) user = find_by_email(email) #self.where("email = ?", email) return nil if user.nil? return user if user.has_password?(submitted_password) end private def encrypt_password self.salt = make_salt if new_record? self.encrypted_password = encrypt(password) end </code></pre> <p>I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong here.</p>
