It is now part of shmacros. I’d rather stick to that plugin for now. : )

Ahh, just what I was looking for. Thanks for saving me the hassle of having to write this!

You should see if you can get this upstream in shoulda with a pull request… just add it to this file:

This is strictly a unit test, verifying that model has accepts_nested_attributes_for declared. If you want to test its behavior in the context of your app – you’d have to write custom tests in your functionals.

Neat. How would pass these nested attributes as params for controller tests, say if you are using Factory Girl for stepping away from fixtures…

In order to get that method you’ll either have to get yourself up to tag 2.3.0 or get Edge. 2.2.2 didn’t have this feature yet. For more info check out this blog post. In fact, I suggest you subscribe to that blog for clean and concise updates on what’s going on with rails.

Hi, Since you have been able to get accepts_nested_attributes_for to work, I am hoping that you can tell me what I need to do. I have installed the latest activerecord gem 2.2.2, but I don’t seem to have this method. The api info says that it is in activerecord/lib/active_record/nested_attributes.rb, but I have no such file. What am I missing? Thanks. Greg
