Unit testing a polymorphic association with fixtures

Question

I\'m getting this error message:

ERROR[\"test_profile_display\", UsersProfileTest, 2.569931] test_profile_display#UsersProfileTest (2.57s)
NoMethodError:                 


        

Answer 1

Change characters.yml to be

character_bazley:
  sociable: bazley (User)

instead of

character_bazley:
  sociable: bazley (user)

Note it is User and not user. The keyword used here User will tell that the sociable_type is of User class.
