Rake Aborted! Syntax Error:

Question

I'm working with the book 'Agile Web Development With Rails 4', I'm a complete beginner and not understanding a few issues.

I just tried the rake test:models command

I was given back:

rake aborted!
SyntaxError: /Users/********/Desktop/depot/test/models/product_test.rb:11: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting keyword_end

What does this exactly mean? I've followed the book word for word and have encountered this problem.

Thanks in advance for your helpful answers and thoughts!

Here's the product_test.rb code

require 'test_helper'

class ProductTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
    test "product attributes must not be empty" do
    product = Product.new
    assert product.invalid?
    assert product.errors[:title].any?
    assert product.errors[:description].any?
    assert product.errors[:price].any?
    assert product.errors[:image_url].any?
end

Answer 1

You have 2 blocks but only one end statement; there needs to be another end at the end:

require 'test_helper' 

class ProductTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase   # <== this is the start of the class
  test "product attributes must not be empty" do   # <== this is the start of a block
    product = Product.new assert product.invalid? 
    assert product.errors[:title].any? 
    assert product.errors[:description].any? 
    assert product.errors[:price].any? 
    assert product.errors[:image_url].any? 
  end  # <== this is missing
end  # <== this is the end of the class

class is the start of one block and the do at the end of the test line is another.

This type of error always gets reported against the last line of the file because it cannot tell there is a missing end until it gets to the end of the file and doesn't find it.

Answer 2

You are missing an end for do block.Adding it should fix the error.

require 'test_helper'

class ProductTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
    test "product attributes must not be empty" do
    product = Product.new
    assert product.invalid?
    assert product.errors[:title].any?
    assert product.errors[:description].any?
    assert product.errors[:price].any?
    assert product.errors[:image_url].any?
  end #do end
end #class end
