Sorry David,
I am getting this error:
ailure/Error: @record.save_cf_data(result)
NoMethodError:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.first
Here is my Gist of my code that I can't figure out how to test. -
https://gist.github.com/1362863
So I am expecting it to send in my result, but instead the test has nil.
-Thanks,
Tony Spore
