Ruby on rails开发从头来（windows）（二十一）-测试Model时的问题

以前的随笔都是按照书上的例子写下来的，但是，这次在测试Model时，按照书上的例子代码怎么也走不通，所以就换个方式，这篇变成了提问。

按照书上的说法，在products_test.rb开始的时候，会根据定义的yml文件，加载测试数据到一个Hash里，这样，在test的时候我们就可以根据yml文件中用例的名字来访问一个product对象，例如：

def test_read_with_hash

assert_kind_of Product, @product

vc_book = @products["version_control_book"]

assert_equal vc_book["id"], @product.id

assert_equal vc_book["title"], @product.title

assert_equal vc_book["description"], @product.description

assert_equal vc_book["image_url"], @product.image_url

assert_equal vc_book["price"], @product.price

assert_equal vc_book["date_available"], @product.date_available_before_type_cast

end

但是，根据在运行测试的时候总是提示vc_book为Null的错误：

3) Error:

test_read_with_hash(ProductTest):

NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!

You might have expected an instance of Array.

The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

test/unit/product_test.rb:41:in `test_read_with_hash'

怎么回事呢？即使将product_test.rb里的内容全部替换成书中完整的代码也还是不行，是不是版本问题？

附product_test.rb全部代码：

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'

class ProductTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

fixtures :products

def setup

@product = Product.find(1)

end

# Replace this with your real tests.

def test_truth

assert_kind_of Product, @product

end

def test_create

assert_kind_of Product, @product

assert_equal 1, @product.id

assert_equal "Pragmatic Version Control", @product.title

assert_equal "How to use version control", @product.description

assert_equal "http://.../sk_svn_small.jpg", @product.image_url

assert_equal 29.95, @product.price

assert_equal "2005-01-26 00:00:00",

@product.date_available_before_type_cast

end

def test_update

assert_equal 29.95, @product.price

@product.price = 99.99

assert @product.save, @product.errors.full_messages.join("; ")

@product.reload

assert_equal 99.99, @product.price

end

#~ def test_destroy

#~ @product.destroy

#~ assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) { Product.find(@product.id) }

#~ end

def test_validate

assert_equal 29.95, @product.price

@product.price = 0.00

assert !@product.save

assert_equal 1, @product.errors.count

assert_equal "should be positive", @product.errors.on(:price)

end

def test_read_with_hash

assert_kind_of Product, @product

vc_book = @products["version_control_book"]

assert_equal vc_book["id"], @product.id

assert_equal vc_book["title"], @product.title

assert_equal vc_book["description"], @product.description

assert_equal vc_book["image_url"], @product.image_url

assert_equal vc_book["price"], @product.price

assert_equal vc_book["date_available"], @product.date_available_before_type_cast

end

def test_read_with_fixture_variable

assert_kind_of Product, @product

assert_equal @version_control_book.id, @product.id

assert_equal @version_control_book.title, @product.title

assert_equal @version_control_book.description, @product.description

assert_equal @version_control_book.image_url, @product.image_url

assert_equal @version_control_book.price, @product.price

assert_equal @version_control_book.date_available, @product.date_available

end

end
