[Beginning Rails 3] Listing 12-9. Create properties table and define its model in vendor/plugins/simple_search/test/simple_search_test.rb

simple_search_test.rb

require 'test_helper'

$stdout = StringIO.new

def create_properties_table
  ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 1) do  
    create_table :properties do |t|  
      t.column :name, :string  
      t.column :description, :text  
    end  
  end  
end  

class Property < ActiveRecord::Base  
  simple_search :name, :description
end

class SimpleSearchTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
  setup do
    create_properties_table  
    Property.create(:name => 'Some name', :description => 'Some description')
    Property.create(:name => 'another name', :description => 'another description')
  end
  
  test "search method is available" do
    assert Property.respond_to?(:search)
  end

  test "should search" do
    assert_equal 2, Property.search("name").size
    assert_equal 1, Property.search("another").size
    assert_equal 0, Property.search("swimming").size
  end
end

I get an error telling me that the table Properties is already created.

Rails 3.0.9

Any ideas? Thanks
