Hi all, I’m having a bit of a problem with unit testing. I’ve simplified
my
models to try and get my head round it but I’m still struggling. I’m
using
STI and trying to write tests for the extended models (code below). I’ve
written test cases for the extended models which themselves extend the
test
case for the parent model, so BarTest extends FooTest which extends
TestCase
when I run ‘bar_test.rb’ it seems to run the test case twice, once for
FooTest and once for BarTest, even though the only file I’m running is
bar_test.rb - here’s the output:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ruby bar_test.rb
Loaded suite bar_test
Started
.Bar
.Foo
.
Finished in 0.109 seconds.
3 tests, 3 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
shouldn’t BarTest only have two tests? test_say_hi() which is inherited
from
FooTest and test_say_hello(), I don’t understand why the parent test
case is
also being run. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
thanks in advance
