Rails 3 w/ Devise/CanCan: POST/PUT Request Fails when loading the user?

Turns out is was a bug in my code. My tests were not updated to account for a new schema in the Contacts model.

I am running functional tests with Test::Unit against my rails 3 application that uses Devise and CanCan to help manage users. However, I am hitting a weird issue in my requests when I make a POST or PUT to my contacts_controller. The request fails when the controller loads the User from the database, and then stops, which then results in a failed test.

Would anyone have an idea of why this is occurring?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
