Railsチュートリアルの第6章にて、rails testでエラーが発生して行き詰まりました。
何とか解消できたのでメモ。

具体的には、6.2.4 フォーマットを検証するでメールフォーマットの検証に関するテストを作成し、rails testを行ったところで下記のエラーが発生しました。

ずらっとエラーが並んでいますが、怪しそうなのは一番最後のここ。

 syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting end (SyntaxError)

SyntaxErrorとは構文エラーのことで、ググると【endが多いか足りない場合に発生するエラー】だと分かりました。

そこで、直前にテストを追記した user_test.rb ファイルを見てみると、、、、

sample_app/test/models/user_test.rb

require ‘test_helper’class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
 def setup
   @user = User.new(name: “Example User”, email: “user@example.com”)
 end

 test “should be valid” do
   assert @user.valid?
 end

 test “name should be present” do
   @user.name = ”     ”
   assert_not @user.valid?
 end

 test “email should be present” do
   @user.email = ”     ”
   assert_not @user.valid?
 end

 test “name should not be too long” do
   @user.name = “a” * 51
   assert_not @user.valid?
 end

 test “email should not be too long” do
   @user.email = “a” * 244 + “@example.com”
   assert_not @user.valid?
 end

 test “email validation should accept valid addresses” do
   valid_addresses = %w[user@example.com USER@foo.COM A_US-ER@foo.bar.org
                        first.last@foo.jp alice+bob@baz.cn]
   valid_addresses.each do |valid_address|
     @user.email = valid_address
     assert @user.valid?, “#{valid_address.inspect} should be valid”
 end

 test “email validation should reject invalid addresses” do
   invalid_addresses = %w[user@example,com user_at_foo.org user.name@example.
                          foo@bar_baz.com foo@bar+baz.com]
   invalid_addresses.each do |invalid_address|
     @user.email = invalid_address
     assert_not @user.valid?, “#{invalid_address.inspect} should be invalid”
 end

 test “email addresses should be unique” do
   duplicate_user = @user.dup
   @user.save
   assert_not duplicate_user.valid?
 end

end

なんと、each do ~ に対応する end が抜けていました。。。

下記のように end を付け足して、無事エラー解消。

＜改善後のコード＞

sample_app/test/models/user_test.rb

.
.
 test “email validation should accept valid addresses” do
   valid_addresses = %w[user@example.com USER@foo.COM A_US-ER@foo.bar.org
                        first.last@foo.jp alice+bob@baz.cn]
   valid_addresses.each do |valid_address|
     @user.email = valid_address
     assert @user.valid?, “#{valid_address.inspect} should be valid”
   end
 end 

 test “email validation should reject invalid addresses” do
   invalid_addresses = %w[user@example,com user_at_foo.org user.name@example.
                          foo@bar_baz.com foo@bar+baz.com]
   invalid_addresses.each do |invalid_address|
     @user.email = invalid_address
     assert_not @user.valid?, “#{invalid_address.inspect} should be invalid”
   end
 end 
.
.

rails test が通るようになりました！

まとめ

rails test で SyntaxError エラーが発生
→ テストコードに end が足りていないのが原因でした。

SyntaxError が発生した場合、どのような構文でエラーになっているのか(今回ならunexpected end-of-input, expecting endの部分)をきちんと確かめて、コードを見直しましょう。

初歩的なミスでしたが、エラーがずらっと並んだのでどこでググっていいのか分からなかった。。。
