Why is my rspec test failing?
- by Justin Meltzer
Here's the test:
describe "admin attribute" do
before(:each) do
@user = User.create!(@attr)
end
it "should respond to admin" do
@user.should respond_to(:admin)
end
it "should not be an admin by default" do
@user.should_not be_admin
end
it "should be convertible to an admin" do
@user.toggle!(:admin)
@user.should be_admin
end
end
Here's the error:
1) User password encryption admin attribute should respond to admin
Failure/Error: @user = User.create!(@attr)
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid:
Validation failed: Email has already been taken
# ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:128
I'm thinking the error might be somewhere in my data populator code:
require 'faker'
namespace :db do
desc "Fill database with sample data"
task :populate => :environment do
Rake::Task['db:reset'].invoke
admin = User.create!(:name => "Example User",
:email => "[email protected]",
:password => "foobar",
:password_confirmation => "foobar")
admin.toggle!(:admin)
99.times do |n|
name = Faker::Name.name
email = "example-#{n+1}@railstutorial.org"
password = "password"
User.create!(:name => name,
:email => email,
:password => password,
:password_confirmation => password)
end
end
end
Please let me know if I should reproduce any more of my code.
UPDATE: Here's where @attr is defined, at the top of the user_spec.rb file:
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
before(:each) do
@attr = {
:name => "Example User",
:email => "[email protected]",
:password => "foobar",
:password_confirmation => "foobar"
}
end
