Functional test problem

Rails
1

I am trying to write a test for my delete method.

I find a User in the db by its id, do the delete action, then I want to
see if it is still in the db.

How do I check that the User IS Deleted without causing errors?

** My Test ********************************
def test_delete_user
login
user = User.find(2)
post :delete_user, {:id => user.id}
assert_equal “User deleted”, flash[:notice]
assert_nil User.find(2)
assert_redirected_to :action => ‘manage_users’
end
** The Error *******************************

  1. Error:
    test_delete_user(AdminControllerTest):
    ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound: Couldn’t find User with ID=2
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:412:in
    find' test/functional/admin_controller_test.rb:140:intest_delete_user’

14 tests, 109 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors

2

assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) { User.find(user.id) }

Right from the AWDR book
