Ruby on Rails User Test Fails - ruby-on-rails

Question

Doing the Ruby on Rails Tutorial and I'm getting strange error message when running the test.
My user_test.rb:
require 'test_helper'
class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
def setup
#user = User.new(name: "Example User", email: "user#example.com", password: "wordpass", password_confirmation: "wordpass")
end
test "should be valid" do
assert #user.valid?
end
test "name should be present" do
#user.name=" "
assert_not #user.valid?
end
test "email should be present" do
#user.email= " "
assert_not #user.valid?
end
test "name should not be too long" do
#user.name= "a" * 51
assert_not #user.valid?
end
test "email should not be too long" do
#user.email= "a" * 256
assert_not #user.valid?
end
test "email validation should accept valid addresses" do
valid_addresses = %w[user#example.com USER#foo.COM A_US-ER#foo.bar.org
first.last#foo.jp alice+bob#baz.cn]
valid_addresses.each do |valid_address|
#user.email = valid_address
assert #user.valid? , "#{valid_address.inspect} should be valid"
end
end
test "email validation should reject invalid addresses" do
invalid_addresses = %w[user#example,com user_at_foo.org user.name#example.
foo#bar_baz.com foo#bar+baz.com]
invalid_addresses.each do |invalid_address|
#user.email = invalid_address
assert_not #user.valid?, "#{invalid_address.inspect} should be invalid"
end
end
test "email addresses should be unique" do
duplicate_user = #user.dup
duplicate_user.email = #user.email.upcase
#user.save
assert_not duplicate_user.valid?
end
test "password should be a minimum length" do
#user.password = #user.password_confirmation = "a" * 5
assert_not #user.valid?
end
end
The user.rb :
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :name, :email , :password, :password_confirmation
before_save { self.email = email.downcase }
validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+#[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }
has_secure_password
validates :password, length: { minimum: 6 }
end
One of the errors seems to be from the user definition, but I cannot find the source of error. Is it something due related to "validates" in user.rb file ? Any help will be much appreciated !!

Thanks in advance for your help !

Answer 1

You are right, one of the errors is due to #user being invalid in the first test. Do the following in rails console, this should print out errors on user model:
#user = User.new(name: "Example User", email: "user#example.com", password: "wordpass", password_confirmation: "wordpass")
#user.valid?
pp #user.errors

Answer 2

Try different regex in user.rb
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+#[a-z\d\-]+(\.[a-z\d\-]+)*\.[a-z]+\z/i

Answer 3

well everything looks fine. just run the command
rake db:test:prepare
and if this doesnt work either then
$rake db:delete
rake db:create
rake db:migrate
first one worked for me
