I am still learning, and its been along and frustrating day, but thanks !
Sometimes a fresh (more experienced pair of eyes) can spot the blindingly
obvious :)
ok, one more quick question, and its slightly more general and then Im going
home for the day.
When I run my tests now I get a series of lines
warning: already initialised constant JUST_REGISTERED
warning: already initialised constant DELETED
etc.
as its only a warning I am not too bothered, but ideally I'd like to stop it
if I can. Is this an artefact of me creating constants in the class, then it
being called before(:each) ? Is there some way of supressing the warnings,
or making the constants only get assigned once? (Maybe another class that
just implements the constants?)
Regards
Matt
