Unable to run the unit tests

[Nick Tidey]

Howdy folks

I'm getting an "uninitialized constant Author::Post (NameError)" error
trying to run the ODBC unit tests.

Rails version is 2.3.3.
Ruby is 1.8.7.

I get the same error with the adapter gem v2.2.19 and with a clone of
the current github master.

Cheers
Nick

Is your checkout of rails that I am assuming is sym linked on "remotes/
origin/2-3-stable"?

- Ken

[Nick Tidey]

I setup rails from gem and ran "rake rails:freeze:gems" to unpack
rails into vendor/ and then tried two things: unpacking and moving the
adapter gem into the required subdirectory and also cloning the
repository into that directory.

Hi Ken,

Ok, further to that last post, I just tried checking out remotes/
origin/2-3-stable from github and running the unit tests of both the
v2.2.19 of the gem and the latest master against it and see the same
error.

Ok, I've got this working. Today, when searching on that error, I
found this rails ticket that escaped me yesterday:

https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2550-fix-models-load-order-in-activerecords-tests

Adding "require 'models/post'" to the top of vendor/rails/
activerecords/test/models/author.rb allowed me to get the unit tests
running.

Good find. I have to say that I've never seen that error when I'm
running the tests. It could be due to the fact that I'm using autotest
and not rake, odd. FYI, did you know there is an autotest specific
file for the adapter. The default mode is ODBC too, so all you have to
do is just "autotest".

[Nick Tidey]

I just saw that while checking out one of the other threads. Will give
it a shot.

Ken, just so you know, I got that same error given the following
commands:

gem install ZenTest
rails test_sql (using Rails 2.3.4 gem)
git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git test_sql/vendor/rails
git clone git://github.com/rails-sqlserver/2000-2005-adapter.git
test_sql/vendor/plugins/adapters/sqlserver
cd test_sql/vendor/rails
git checkout remotes/origin/2-3-stable
[create databases and edit .../connections/native_sqlserver_odbc/
connection.rb as required]
cd ../plugins/adapters/sqlserver
autotest

Cheers

Nick,

gem install ZenTest
rails test_sql (using Rails 2.3.4 gem)

Thats fine, the rails gem that generated the project is moot when it's finally vendored.

git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git test_sql/vendor/rails
git clone git://github.com/rails-sqlserver/2000-2005-adapter.git test_sql/vendor/plugins/adapters/sqlserver
cd test_sql/vendor/rails
git checkout remotes/origin/2-3-stable

That looks good.

[create databases and edit .../connections/native_sqlserver_odbc/connection.rb as required]

I've never had to do this. I just use a DSN on my localhost that handles all the details. I could understand however if your remote server is not allowed to have blank password for the rails user, just FYI.

cd ../plugins/adapters/sqlserver
autotest

Yes, that looks good
