RSpec does not test

Question

Indeed, it was a configuration problem. The specification / spec _helper.rd pointed to the "test" environment. I changed it to "development" so that it refers to config / environment / development.rb

Regards, Fred

I am new to RoR and follow RoR 3.2 instructions from Michael Hartl.

When it comes to performing the first test (chapter 3.2.1), RSpec returns a hundred errors starting from this (and everyone looks the same bigger or smaller):

/home/fred/.rvm/gems/ ruby-1.9.3-p0@ODQ /gems/activerecord-3.2.1/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:45:in `resolve_hash_connection': database configuration does not specify adapter (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified) 

My DEV database is PostgreSQL and it works fine (migration works well).

Can someone help me figure out what is wrong and decide?

Thanks.

Answer 1

you need to fix it

 # PostgreSQL 8.4 development: adapter: postgresql encoding: unicode database: ODQ_APP pool: 5 

and add a test section like this

 # PostgreSQL 8.4 test: adapter: postgresql encoding: unicode database: ODQ_APP_test pool: 5 

also do not forget to create a test db :) Rspec works in the "test" environment, so it will look for a test key from the .yml database not for development :)
