undefined method `fixtures'
Reported by Jeff Schwab | March 18th, 2009 @ 05:03 PM
The tests installed by restful_authentication encounter
undefined-method errors, starting with "undefined method
fixtures'" for the unit tests. The problem seems to be that
the tests derive only from Test::Unit::TestCase, whereas the
relevant methods are defined in ActiveRecord::TestCase and
ActionController::TestCase for unit and functional tests,
respectively.
My current work-around is to change the base class by hand, e.g. to replace
class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
with
class UserTest < ActiveRecord::TestCase
This addresses the error, so that the tests at least can run.

- Title changed from “undefined method `fixtures'” to “2.0-non-compliant”
You don't know me but... I'm working on some Rails 2.0-compliant stuff to get the code working with Rails 2.3.2 (which I'm using at work).
I've made a fork of the repo for this. When I'm done I'll make a pull-request.
My plan is to add another command-line option "--two-point-oh" that will switch on the 2.0-style things (eg rm fixtures and ids, and using "test do" instead of "def test_").
Right now I'm not sure if this option should be "on" or "off" by default.
whatcha think?

Hmmm - just thinking - if you were able to just remove 'fixtures', perhaps there should be no backwards-compatibility at all. Is there not some sort of "RA Classic" for that sort of thing?
Just curious... it'd make my life much easier...
Cheers, Taryn

I see the same problem with 2.3 and 2.0, so I'm not sure what the flag would do. It's not just 'fixtures'; if you remove that, other errors occur later in the file.

How and why did you change the name of the ticket? This is not a 2.0-specific issue; in fact, I don't see how it's version-specific at all. I think you'll have better luck if you change the name back, and open a new ticket.

Restoring a title that matches the error message, so other victims will be able to find this ticket more easily.
