nil object error during integration test.

[Vikas Gholap]

hello all,

I have a simple test case that load home page.
When I run test i got following error.

test_load_site_with_out_errors(UserScenariosTest)

class UserScenariosTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
fixtures :users

# Load home page with out error
def test_load_site_with_out_errors
get_home_page
end

def get_home_page
get "/home/index"
assert_response :success
assert_template "index"
end

end

can anyone tell me about this error and solution.

It seems that somewhere in your code you are doing something.downcase,
and at that point something is nil:

<"You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!\nThe error occurred
while evaluating nil.downcase">

However, Rails questions are best directed to a Rails forum or mailing
list.

Regards,

Brian.
