Why am I getting the error "undefined local variable or method `assigns'"?
- by Jason
I might be missing something basic here, but I'm stumped on this error:
model code:
class CachedStat < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.create_stats_days_ago(days_ago, human_id)
d = Date.today - days_ago.day
@prs = PageRequest.find(:all, :conditions => [ "owner_type = 'Human' and owner_id = ? and created_at = ?", human_id, d] )
end
end
spec code:
it "should create stats for the specified number of days in the past" do
CachedStat.create_stats_days_ago(1, Human.first.id)
assigns[:prs].should eql("foo")
end
The error is:
undefined local variable or method `assigns' for #<Spec::Rails::Example::ModelExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x2fbac28>
I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious but it's invisible to me. Any suggestions?
Thanks very much!
