[PATCH] should_require_attributes does not work with has_many associations

Reported by Joachim Garth | August 17th, 2008 @ 06:29 AM

Short summary: ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0] Rails 2.1.0

Model Code:

has_many :groups

validates_presence_of :groups

Shoulda Test Code:

should_require_attributes :groups

=> ERROR: An error occurred while evaluating nil.each ...

Fix: See if the tested attribute is a has_many association, and instead of testing it with nil as a test value, use an empty Array. Diff is attached.

By the way: Again, I have to say shoulda really makes my day when it comes to writing tests. Thanks!
