Error:
test_valid(StateTest):
NoMethodError: undefined method `assert_valid' for #<StateTest:
0x7f0d60750318>

I see that test_valid is now in
ActionController::Assertions::ModelAssertions. Does this mean that
test_valid is designed to be used i ActionController tests only?

I can change my assert_valid(State.first) into assert
(State.first.valid?) but assert_valid prints meaninful failure
messages, unlike assert which just tells me "nil is not true". How can
I use assert_valid in my unit tests? My test classes declared
something like this: class StateTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

Rails Guide http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html
para 3.5 says it exists - I guess the guide needs amending?

It was deprecated at 2.2.2
 - "assert_valid is deprecated. Use assert record.valid? instead"
see
http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/d4754677a34d34d4a0955a04f2cc6571...
and
https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1470-assert_val...

I didnt want to go change all my tests just at the moment, so putting
assert_valid in my test_helper gets me over that for the moment.  Bit
of a time waster, since I was going from 2.0.2 to 2.3 so had not seen
the dep error.

def assert_valid(record)
  assert record.valid?, record.errors.full_messages.join("\n")
end
