Instructions

This lab does not cover validations so please do not use them. If you do, your tests will break.

• Check out The Demo to see where this lab is headed.
• Before anything, note that when you generate models, controllers, etc, be sure to include this option, so that it skips tests (which are already included in the lab): --no-test-framework
• This is a test driven lab, check out the model tests and get those to pass before moving onto the feature specs.
• Remember, if you use scaffolds or generators to not overwrite the model specs that are included in this lab. Always enter n or no when prompted to overwrite the model specs for this lab.
